Spacious Terraced House with Garden and Solar Panels in Quiet Blaak Location
Key Features
Upsides
- The property features eight owned solar panels installed in 2023 and full insulation including roof, walls, floor, and double glazing, resulting in an energy label B which contributes to lower energy costs.
- The rear garden is notably spacious at 110 square meters with generous width of 10 meters, providing ample outdoor living space that is relatively uncommon for a terraced house.
- The second floor offers potential to create a fourth bedroom by installing a dormer window or larger skylight, allowing the property to grow with the needs of a family.
- Several key elements have been recently updated including the electrical installation, exterior paintwork, and sanitary facilities, reducing immediate maintenance requirements for a new owner.
- The location is described as quiet with an unobstructed view over a square, offering a pleasant living environment within the Blaak residential area of Tilburg.
Downsides
- The rear garden is oriented to the north, which means it receives less direct sunlight throughout the day compared to south-facing gardens, particularly during the winter months.
- The property only offers public parking without any private parking space, which may be inconvenient for households with multiple vehicles.
- There is a discrepancy between the advertised living area of 124 square meters and the official living area of 101 square meters, as the second floor of 23 square meters does not currently meet requirements due to insufficient natural light.
- The combi-boiler dates from 2010 and may require replacement in the coming years, which represents a potential significant expense for the new owner.
- As a terraced house (tussenwoning), the property shares walls with adjacent properties, which means less lateral privacy and potential noise transmission from neighbors.
Description
This terraced house is situated in the Blaak area of Tilburg on a generous plot of 204 square meters. The property was originally built in 1981 and features a gable roof covered with tiles. The location is described as quiet with an unobstructed view over a square, providing a pleasant living environment.
The official living area measures approximately 101 square meters, spread over two full residential floors. The second floor, measuring approximately 23 square meters, currently does not meet the requirements to be counted as formal living space due to insufficient natural light. However, the listing indicates that installing a larger skylight would be sufficient to increase the official living area.
On the ground floor, the entrance leads to a hallway containing the electrical meter cabinet, which has been updated with renewed electrical installations. The living room features a tiled floor, sprayed finish on the walls and ceiling, and a practical stair cupboard. From the living room, there is a clear view over the adjacent square.
The kitchen is spacious in design and includes a corner setup equipped with an induction cooktop, extractor hood, combi-oven, and dishwasher. There is ample space for a dining table with chairs. The kitchen provides a good overview of the rear garden and offers direct access to the outdoor area.
From the kitchen, a storage room is accessible. This space contains the washing machine connection and can also be reached from the street side, allowing bicycles to be easily stored indoors. The rear portal provides access to the staircase leading to the first floor, the toilet room, and the garden. The toilet room is fully tiled and fitted with a wall-hung toilet with a small sink.
The first floor contains a landing with access to three bedrooms and the bathroom. Two bedrooms are located at the front of the property, while the third bedroom is situated at the rear. The bathroom is also located at the rear and is fully tiled. It features a walk-in shower, a vanity unit, a wall-hung toilet, mechanical ventilation, and underfloor heating.
The second floor is reached via a fixed staircase. This space offers considerable storage capacity, a skylight for natural light, the inverter for the solar panels, and the combi-boiler. The listing notes that there are possibilities to install a dormer window and create a spacious fourth bedroom on this level.
The outdoor spaces include a front garden providing access to the property and the storage room. The rear garden has been attractively landscaped and includes a terrace, decorative paving, plantings, and a rear access path. Due to the width of the plot, the garden at the rear is particularly spacious, measuring 110 square meters with dimensions of 11 meters in depth and 10 meters in width. The garden is oriented to the north and is accessible via a rear path.
The property is equipped with eight solar panels that were installed in 2023 and are included in the purchase as owned assets. The house is fully insulated with roof insulation, double glazing, wall insulation, and floor insulation, resulting in an energy label B. The exterior paintwork was completed approximately two years ago. The sanitary facilities have been modernized. Heating and hot water are provided by a gas-fired combi-boiler from 2010, which is owned by the current proprietor.
Parking is available in the public area, as the property does not include private parking facilities. The property is located in a residential area on a quiet road.
The asking price is set at 445,000 euros, to be paid by the buyer including transfer costs. Based on the total indicated area of 124 square meters, this equates to approximately 3,589 euros per square meter. It should be noted that the officially recognized living area is 101 square meters, which would result in a higher price per square meter when calculated on that basis.
The property is offered with an acceptance date to be negotiated. The cadastral designation is TILBURG AA 670, with a total plot area of 204 square meters under full ownership. The total volume of the property is 438 cubic meters.
In summary, this terraced house offers three full bedrooms with the potential to create a fourth, a spacious north-facing garden, modern amenities including solar panels and updated insulation, and a quiet location with views over a square. The property requires some attention to fully realize its potential, particularly regarding the second floor where the installation of additional glazing could increase the formal living space.
