Description
The property is situated on Valkenboskade in the Valkenboskwartier of The Hague. It is a ground floor apartment built in 1923 and presented as a single level residence. The building is part of an active owners association with a monthly contribution of €135 and a reserve fund of €24,549 as of the end of 2025. The ground lease is perpetual with a semi‑annual ground rent of €40.65 and a nominal land value of €5,366. A revision of the lease terms is scheduled for July 2027.
The interior living space measures approximately 61 square metres. The layout includes an entrance hall that is covered and free of steps. From the entrance a spacious hallway leads to a living room that faces the water side of the kade. The living room benefits from natural light and contains a built‑in wardrobe. Adjacent to the living room is a bathroom equipped with a wash basin, a shower, a washing machine connection and a ribbed radiator. The single bedroom is located at the rear of the apartment and opens directly onto a private garden through sliding doors.
The kitchen is positioned on the garden side of the dwelling. It is a large open kitchen that provides direct views of the garden. The kitchen is fitted with a four‑burner gas cooktop, a stainless steel extractor hood, a dishwasher and a cupboard that houses the central heating boiler. The boiler is an Intergas combination unit installed in 2011 with maintenance scheduled for December 2025. The heating distribution pipes were renewed in 2021. The apartment is heated by this gas powered combination boiler.
The exterior area consists of a garden of approximately 70 square metres. The garden is oriented to the south west and receives sunlight throughout the afternoon and evening. There are no rear neighbours, which creates a sense of privacy. The garden includes an external tap, a wooden shed that offers additional storage space and a fence that defines the boundary. The space is described as suitable for outdoor dining and barbecuing. The garden is directly accessible from the bedroom through the sliding doors.
The property features a laminate floor throughout the interior. All windows are fitted with double glazed plastic frames, except for the bathroom window which does not have double glazing. Internal walls have been fitted with partition boards. The electrical installation includes a consumer unit with five circuits and a residual current device. The property is described as fully step free, providing accessibility for people with reduced mobility and for older residents.
Energy performance is rated as label B. The building envelope includes double glazing and the recent installation of heating pipe insulation in 2021. The combination of these measures contributes to a relatively low energy consumption. The owners association maintains a maintenance plan covering the period from 2021 to 2030, prepared by Erik Wieser. The maintenance plan outlines scheduled inspections and repairs for shared elements of the building.
Transport and amenities are highlighted as convenient. The location is within ten minutes of the city centre of The Hague and the beach. Public transport options are nearby, and the area is served by schools, shops and a variety of restaurants along the Weimarstraat. Parking is available on the street with paid zones from 18.00 onwards, and residents can apply for a parking permit. The property is close to the Mient, providing additional parking possibilities.
The sales process is conducted through the agency laclemakelaars. Prospective buyers are instructed to submit an offer via the online platform Eerlijk Bieden after completing a contact form on Funda. The purchase will be concluded on a ‘as is’ basis with standard age clauses included in the contract. The seller indicates that the handover can occur in the short term and that the buyer may select the notary, provided the notary is based in The Hague. The listing states that the property is available for immediate occupation.
