Description
This property offers a compelling opportunity for those seeking an affordable living situation in Burgum. Positioned as an ideal starter home, the residence boasts four bedrooms, providing ample space for a growing family or those requiring a home office. The house is a terraced property, known locally as a tussenwoning, and presents a practical layout spread over multiple levels. While the home requires certain updates and modernization, this aspect allows buyers to imprint their own style and preferences on the property, making it a suitable project for handy individuals or those looking to gradually renovate a home to their specific tastes.
The location of the house is a significant advantage. Situated on the southwest side of Burgum, the property sits at the edge of the village. This positioning ensures a balance between the tranquility of a residential area and the convenience of nearby amenities. The center of Burgum is just a short distance away, meaning daily necessities and local shops are within easy reach. For those who commute or travel frequently, the proximity to the exit roads leading to De Centrale As is a notable benefit. This major thoroughfare ensures quick and efficient travel to surrounding regions and cities. Furthermore, the immediate environment is rich in facilities for sports and relaxation, making it an attractive area for active residents. The presence of beautiful walking and cycling routes adds to the appeal for outdoor enthusiasts, while the opportunities for water sports cater to those with interests in aquatic activities.
Entering the property, visitors are greeted by an entrance featuring an overhang, which provides shelter regardless of the weather.

The living room flows into the kitchen, which is described as simple and semi open in nature. This layout facilitates interaction between cooking and living spaces. The kitchen is practical, equipped with a storage cupboard, and offers direct access to the deep backyard, allowing for easy transition between indoor and outdoor living.
Moving to the first floor, the landing provides access to the four bedrooms, which is a generous number for this type of property. One of these bedrooms features a balcony, offering a private outdoor space to enjoy fresh air. Three of the bedrooms are fitted with fixed cupboard space, which helps in keeping the rooms organized and clutter free without requiring additional furniture. The bathroom on this level is functional and accessible from two of the bedrooms, a layout that can be convenient for families or shared living situations. The bathroom is fitted with a shower and a sink. Additionally, the property features a vliering, an attic space accessible via a loft ladder. This area provides valuable extra storage space, which is often a sought after commodity in family homes.
The outdoor space of this property is one of its strongest assets. The deep backyard offers plenty of room to enjoy the outdoor life, whether for gardening, dining, or simply relaxing. The garden includes a stone shed, offering secure storage for tools, bicycles, or outdoor equipment. With a total plot size of 266 square meters, the outdoor area presents significant potential for landscaping or future extensions, subject to the necessary permits. The size of the plot is considerable for a terraced house, enhancing the feeling of space and privacy.

The property is equipped with natural ventilation. Regarding energy efficiency, the home has an energy label C. It features roof insulation and double glazing, which contribute to keeping the home warm and reducing energy costs.
