Key Features
Upsides
- The kitchen and bathroom were completely renovated in 2025, including a high-end Bora induction cooktop with integrated extraction, meaning the new owner will not need to invest in these areas for years to come.
- The apartment comes with its own private parking space with a barrier, which is a valuable asset in a central location like Gouda where parking can be difficult to find.
- The property has energy label B with double glazing and wall insulation, resulting in lower energy costs compared to older, less insulated apartments.
- The location combines a quiet, green environment with walking distance to both the charming centre of Gouda and the NS railway station, making it ideal for commuters.
- The building has a lift installation, making the third-floor apartment easily accessible for residents, visitors, and when moving furniture.
Downsides
- The VvE service costs are relatively high at 199 euros per month, which adds a significant amount to the monthly housing expenses.
- The VvE does not have building insurance (opstalverzekering), meaning owners must arrange and pay for this separately, which can be more expensive than group coverage.
- The HR combination boiler dates from 2012 and is now over 12 years old, meaning it may need replacement in the coming years, which is a considerable expense.
- The balcony has an eastern orientation only, so the apartment itself does not have a space to enjoy evening sun without going to the shared gallery at the front of the building.
- The building dates from 1985, so despite renovations, the property retains characteristics of an older apartment complex compared to newly built properties.
Description
This three-room apartment is situated in a quiet and green environment within walking distance of the centre of Gouda. The property is located on the third floor of an apartment complex that was built in 1985. The building features an active Homeowners Association (VvE) and is equipped with a lift installation, making the third floor easily accessible.
The apartment has a total living area of 80 square metres, making it a spacious home suitable for starters or those looking to take a new step in their housing career. The energy label is rated B, which indicates a good level of energy efficiency. This is achieved through double glazing and wall insulation, complemented by plastic window frames (kunststof kozijnen) that contribute to the overall insulation quality of the property.
Upon entering the complex, you arrive in a central hall with a staircase and lift. The entrance to the apartment leads to a renovated meter cupboard, a separate toilet with a small sink, a closet housing the HR combination boiler from 2012 (a Nefit ProLine, gas-fired, owned by the property), and a walk-in closet that serves as additional storage space.
The living room is generously proportioned and features modern wall finishes. From the living room, there is access to a balcony with an eastern orientation, which means you can enjoy the morning sun. For those who prefer to sit in the evening sun, the gallery at the front of the building provides this opportunity. The entire apartment has a wide plank laminate flooring laid throughout, creating a cohesive and modern appearance.
The kitchen was completely renewed in 2025 and is arranged in an L-shape. It is equipped with a range of built-in appliances, including a Bora induction cooktop with integrated extractor hood, a refrigerator, a freezer, a combination oven, and a dishwasher. The Bora cooktop with integrated extraction is a modern and space-saving solution that eliminates the need for a traditional extractor hood above the cooking area.
A wooden sliding door separates the living area from the first bedroom. This bedroom provides access to the modernised bathroom, which also received updates in 2025. The bathroom now features a new washbasin with a vanity unit, an additional closet with connections for a washing machine and dryer, and a modernised walk-in shower. This layout creates a practical en-suite arrangement that is convenient for daily use.
The second bedroom is also a spacious room and is accessible directly from the hallway. Both bedrooms offer ample space for a double bed and additional furniture.
The service costs for the VvE amount to approximately 199 euros per month. The VvE is properly organised, as evidenced by the checklist: it is registered with the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual meetings, collects periodic contributions, has a reserve fund, and has a maintenance plan in place. However, it should be noted that the VvE does not have building insurance (opstalverzekering), which means individual owners need to arrange this themselves.
One of the notable features of this apartment is the included private parking space on the property, equipped with a parking barrier. This is a significant advantage in a city centre location where parking can often be challenging. Additionally, there is an indoor storage unit of 3 square metres, which is useful for storing bicycles, suitcases, or other items.
The building has a flat roof covered with bituminous roofing material. The total volume of the apartment is 243 cubic metres. The property has fibre optic cable (glasvezelkabel) and mechanical ventilation, ensuring good air quality throughout the home.
The location is described as ideal: quiet and green, yet within walking distance of the charming centre of Gouda and the NS railway station. This combination of tranquillity and accessibility makes the property attractive for various target groups, including commuters who need to travel regularly by train.
The apartment is offered at an asking price of 310,000 euros, buyer's costs applicable. This translates to approximately 3,875 euros per square metre of living space. The property is available and the transfer can be negotiated.
Various furniture items are available for takeover by the buyer, which could be convenient for those moving in who do not yet have all the necessary furnishings.
The property has been measured according to the industry-wide Measurement Instruction, which is based on the NEN2580 standard. This measurement method is intended to provide a more uniform way of measuring to give an indication of the usable surface area. The Measurement Instruction does not completely exclude differences in measurement results due to, for example, differences in interpretation, rounding, or limitations when carrying out the measurement.
The cadastral data shows that the property consists of multiple parcels: GOUDA H 3263 and GOUDA H 3212, all with full ownership status.
This apartment presents itself as a well-maintained and partially renovated home in a convenient location. The recent updates to the kitchen and bathroom in 2025 mean that the new owner will not have to invest in these areas in the near future. The combination of a private parking space, storage unit, lift access, and proximity to amenities makes this a practical and desirable property for those looking to live in Gouda.
