Spacious semi-detached family home with sunny garden and renovation potential
Key Features
Upsides
- Generous plot size of 281 m² with a 110 m² southwest-facing rear garden providing excellent sun exposure throughout the day
- Practical attached garage of approximately 19 m² plus private driveway parking, offering valuable storage and vehicle accommodation
- Four well-proportioned bedrooms spread across two floors, providing genuine family-sized living accommodation
- Good location in a quiet, child-friendly neighbourhood with a playground and green outlook at the front, local amenities nearby, and motorway access within minutes
- Modernization potential allows buyers to personalize the property while the plastic window frames and functional layout provide a solid starting point
Downsides
- Energy label D indicates below-average energy efficiency, meaning relatively high utility costs and a considerable investment required to bring the property up to modern standards
- The property dates from 1973 and is described as requiring full modernization, meaning buyers must budget for significant renovation work beyond the purchase price
- Insulation is listed as partially double-glazed only, suggesting notable thermal deficiencies in parts of the envelope
- The semi-detached layout means shared wall proximity with a neighbour, resulting in less privacy compared to a fully detached property
- The village of Beesd, while well-connected by car, may offer limited employment, entertainment, and cultural options compared to larger towns, which could affect long-term suitability for some buyers
Description
Located at Prins Willem Alexandersingel 80 in Beesd, this spacious semi-detached family home offers comfortable living space spanning approximately 125 square metres across three floors, situated on a plot of 281 square metres. Built in 1973, the property presents a solid foundation for buyers seeking a home they can modernize to their personal taste.
The ground floor welcomes you with a generous entrance hall providing access to the meter cupboard, a separate toilet, and the staircase leading to the upper floors. The bright through-living room spans the full depth of the house, with large windows at both the front and rear ensuring abundant natural light throughout the day. Views encompass both the front garden and the sunny rear garden.
The enclosed kitchen is arranged in a practical L-shaped layout and includes built-in appliances such as an oven, microwave, four-burner gas hob, and dishwasher. A door from the kitchen provides direct access to the rear garden, while another connects through to the attached brick garage. The garage is roughly 19 square metres and includes electrical connection, offering parking for one car as well as additional storage or workshop potential. The property also benefits from a private driveway providing off-street parking.
The rear garden measures approximately 110 square metres and faces southwest, meaning it captures sunlight throughout most of the day from morning well into the evening. With a depth of 11 metres and a width of 10 metres, the garden offers ample space for outdoor dining, children's play, or creative landscaping according to personal preference. The garden is accessible from both the kitchen and the garage, providing practical internal circulation.
The first floor comprises a spacious and bright landing with a fixed staircase to the second floor. Three generously sized bedrooms are located on this level, all equipped with plastic window frames contributing to a low-maintenance exterior. The bathroom is well-proportioned and includes a bathtub, a separate shower enclosure, a second toilet, and a vanity sink. While functional, the bathroom presents an opportunity for future modernization.
The second floor is reached via the fixed staircase and features a practical landing area with a skylight and the central heating boiler setup. Considerable storage is available in the knee walls throughout this level. The fourth bedroom is a surprisingly spacious room benefiting from a dormer window at the rear, which floods the room with natural light and creates additional headroom. Like the rest of the home, this floor offers potential for further finishing and customization.
Beesd is a village situated in the Betuwe region along the river Linge, offering a well-rounded set of local amenities. Within the village there are shops for daily necessities, dining options, sports clubs, and educational facilities including primary schools and childcare. Landgoed Mariënwaerdt and various recreational opportunities lie in the direct surroundings. The location is well-suited for commuters, with the A2 and A15 motorways accessible within minutes and the cities of Utrecht and 's-Hertogenbosch reachable in approximately 20 minutes by car. The Beesd railway station is within cycling distance, offering regional train connections.
The immediate surroundings of the property are quiet and family-oriented, with a playground and green spaces visible from the front of the house. This makes the location particularly suitable for families with young or school-aged children. Schools and childcare are found within short distance.
The property is registered in the land registry as Beesd E 2536 and is held in full ownership. Heating and hot water are provided by a gas-fired combination boiler. The house largely features plastic window frames with double glazing, though the insulation specification is noted as partially double-glazed. The energy label is rated D. The asking price is 435,000 euros costs to buyer (kosten koper), equivalent to approximately 3,480 euros per square metre of living space. Transfer and delivery are to be agreed.

The layout is practical with clear zoning and standard finishes.
Modernist
1973 houses in the Netherlands often had modernist influences with clean lines and functional layouts. The description mentions 'kunststof kozijnen' (plastic frames), typical of later renovations. However, no explicit modernist design elements are highlighted.
