The total living area measures 251 square metres, complemented by additional spaces including a business area, workshop, and garage.

The ground floor of the residential section features an entrance hall with tiled flooring, a cloakroom area, and the electrical meter cupboard containing 12 circuit breakers. The living room spans approximately 7.87 by 3.83 to 3.23 metres and benefits from an epoxy floor with underfloor heating that continues into the kitchen.

From the kitchen, a portal leads to the rear door providing access to the basement, the enclosed patio garden, and the business premises. The patio garden offers privacy due to its fully enclosed nature. A storage room of approximately 3.70 by 2.46 metres houses the inverter for the solar panels and an additional electrical distribution board with heavy current connection.

The business space has its own entrance and house number, making it suitable for use as a practice room, shop, or office. It covers 46 square metres and is divided into two areas. The first room measures approximately 4.77 by 4.47 metres and features ample natural light along with attractive stained glass in the front facade. The second room measures approximately 5.21 by 4.47 metres and has a skylight. The business space includes a toilet room with washbasin, an alarm system, air conditioning, and an epoxy floor. There is also an internal connection to the residential part of the property.

Several flat roofs have been renewed recently with bitumen covering and added insulation. The kitchen roof was done in 2022, the garage roof in 2022, the business space roof in 2021, and the workshop roof in 2022. The heating is provided by a Remeha gas fired combi boiler. The listing indicates the boiler is from 2026 which appears to be an error in the documentation as this date is in the future.

The property is situated in the centre of Schinnen, which is part of the municipality of Beekdaelen. The location offers walking distance to the NS railway station and bus stops. The A76 motorway and the Parkstad ring road are easily accessible. Schinnen lies between the cities of Sittard Geleen and Heerlen, within the hilly and protected nature area of the Geleenbeekdal. The area is popular with walkers and cyclists and appeals to those who appreciate nature and history while having urban amenities within reach.

It should be noted that due to the mixed zoning with both residential and retail designations, a commercial mortgage arrangement may be partially required for the purchase of this property. The asking price is 395,000 euros payable by the buyer (kosten koper), which translates to approximately 1,574 euros per square metre of living space.
