Characteristic detached house with waterfront view in Ten Post
Key Features
Description
Located at the edge of Ten Post, this detached house offers a distinctive living experience with an unobstructed view over the Damsterdiep. The property was originally built in 1925 and features characteristic elements from the 1930s era that give the residence its authentic appearance and charm.
The exterior of the house is finished with robust dark brickwork that immediately conveys a sense of quality and craftsmanship typical of the period. Inside, stained glass windows (glas-in-lood) add an element of craftsmanship and visual interest to the living spaces. These historical details have been preserved while the property has been updated with modern conveniences to meet contemporary living standards.
The ground floor layout has been arranged with practicality in mind. The entrance is through a side door leading into a hallway that provides access to the main living areas. The living room measures approximately 30 square meters and features a bay window (erker) that allows plenty of natural light to enter the space. The stained glass windows in this room contribute to the characteristic atmosphere of the property. From the living room, occupants can enjoy the view over the Damsterdiep, which is a navigable waterway that changes appearance with the seasons.
Adjacent to the living room is the closed kitchen, which covers approximately 11 square meters. The kitchen has been fitted with modern built-in appliances, providing a functional space for meal preparation. Behind the kitchen, an extension houses a utility room (bijkeuken) that offers additional practical space. From this utility room, there is access to a ground floor bedroom measuring approximately 8 square meters, a toilet, and a bathroom fitted with a shower and a washbasin. This ground floor configuration makes the property suitable for people who prefer or require single-level living, as the essential facilities are accessible without using stairs.
The first floor is reached via a staircase leading to a landing that distributes to two additional bedrooms and a second bathroom. The smaller bedroom measures approximately 7 square meters, while the larger bedroom spans approximately 13 square meters. The larger bedroom features a dormer window (dakkapel) that adds headroom and natural light, and it includes two built-in closets providing useful storage space. The second bathroom on this floor is equipped with a washbasin, a shower, and a second toilet, offering convenience for family members or guests.
The total living area of the property is 101 square meters, with an additional 1 square meter of other indoor space, 9 square meters of building-related outdoor space, and 11 square meters of external storage. The gross volume of the building is 413 cubic meters.
One of the notable features of this property is the size of the plot. The total land area measures 780 square meters, consisting of two cadastral parcels: TEN BOER C 757 with 440 square meters and TEN BOER C 1097 with 340 square meters, both held in full ownership. The backyard is particularly deep, measuring approximately 33 meters in length and 15 meters in width, giving it an area of approximately 495 square meters. The garden is situated on the north side of the property. A front garden is also present, contributing to the overall appearance of the property from the street side.
The outdoor facilities include a carport for covered parking and a freestanding wooden storage shed. There is ample parking space on the property itself, which is a practical advantage given the rural location.
In terms of energy efficiency, the property has an E energy label. Heating and hot water are provided by a gas-fired combination boiler (cv-ketel) that was installed in 2025, representing a recent update to the heating system. Additionally, the property has been equipped with 6 solar panels, which can contribute to reducing electricity costs.
The roof is a hipped roof (tentdak) covered with a combination of bituminous roofing material and tiles. This type of roof construction is common for properties of this age and style.
The location of the property is characterized by its rural setting and the proximity to water. The Damsterdiep runs along the front of the property, separated by the Rijksweg. This waterway is used for both fishing and boating activities. The property is situated on what is described as a quiet road, and the surrounding area offers a sense of space and privacy due to the unobstructed views across the water.
Despite the rural character of the location, the city of Groningen is accessible within approximately twenty minutes by car. This combination of countryside living with relative proximity to urban amenities is a defining feature of the property's appeal.
Potential buyers should be aware that the purchase is subject to an old age clause (ouderdomsclausule) and a non-self-occupation clause (niet-zelfbewoningsclausule). The old age clause is standard for older properties and serves to inform buyers that certain construction standards from the building period may differ from current requirements. The non-self-occupation clause indicates that the current owner has not personally occupied the property, which may have implications for the buyer's due diligence regarding the condition of the property.
The asking price is 375,000 euros, with the additional costs for the buyer (kosten koper) to be paid on top of this amount. This translates to approximately 3,713 euros per square meter of living space. The property is currently available, and the transfer date is to be agreed upon (in overleg).
