Monumental Dike House with B&B Potential in Nieuwenhoorn

This monumental dike house is situated on the historic Rijksstraatweg, positioned between Nieuwenhoorn and Hellevoetsluis. The property dates back to 1882 and has undergone a thorough renovation between 2011 and 2017. During this renovation period, the roof was renewed with the exception of the original tiles, window frames were either replaced or repaired, double glazing was installed throughout, and full insulation was applied wherever possible. Additionally, the electrical system was completely replaced, the facade was cleaned, masonry was restored, and the basement was partially excavated and insulated using shell material.

The front entrance features a porch with double doors leading to a hall with an attractive floor. The layout follows the traditional pattern of this type of residence, with rooms arranged around the central hall. On one side of the hall there is a practice room, and on the other side the living room. The office space includes a stately bookcase that provides access to a rear room, creating an ideal workspace arrangement.

The kitchen is located at the rear of the property and offers views over the spacious garden. The living room features a high ceiling with decorative moldings and a wood burning stove. Both the front and rear of this room have tall windows allowing abundant natural light to enter the space.

The upper floor contains two large bedrooms that feature characteristic arch structures typical of this architectural style.

This bathroom is proportionate to the scale of the house and includes a large shower, a wall hung toilet, and a vanity unit.
