Spacious Energy Label A Terraced Home with Solar Panels and Private Parking
Key Features
Upsides
- Energy label A rating combined with ten solar panels results in low energy costs and a sustainable profile.
- Two private parking spaces directly in front of the property are a valuable asset in a residential area.
- The spacious 140 square meter living area provides ample room for a family, with the potential to create a fourth bedroom on the second floor.
- Recent updates include a modern kitchen from 2021, a new boiler from 2023, exterior paintwork from 2022, and interior paintwork from 2025.
- The south-facing backyard with a covered canopy offers an attractive outdoor living space that receives plenty of sunlight.
Downsides
- The ten solar panels are rented rather than owned, meaning ongoing costs and no ownership of the installation.
- The dishwasher dates from 2012, which is notably older than the rest of the kitchen that was installed in 2021.
- The second floor is currently an open attic space and would require work to convert it into a proper fourth bedroom.
- The property was built in 1979, and the listing indicates that an asbestos clause and age clause will be included in the purchase agreement.
- A ten percent deposit or bank guarantee is required, which represents a significant amount given the asking price of 489,000 euros.
Description
This spacious terraced house is located in the village of Made, part of the municipality of Drimmelen. The property offers approximately 140 square meters of living space and is situated on a plot of 176 square meters. The home was built around 1979 and has been well maintained and updated over the years, resulting in an energy label A rating.
The construction of the property follows a traditional solid build method, consisting of masonry cavity walls, a concrete ground floor, concrete upper floors, and wooden window frames fitted with double glazing and HR++ glazing. The insulated gable roof is covered with tiles. The total volume of the house measures approximately 550 cubic meters.
Upon entering the property through the front extension, you are welcomed into a hallway finished with a tile floor and stucco on the walls and ceiling. A skylight provides natural light to this area. The hallway gives access to the meter cupboard, a toilet room, a utility room, and the living room with open kitchen. The meter cupboard is equipped with nine 220V circuit breakers, a three-phase connection, three earth leakage switches, and a fiber optic connection.
The toilet room is tiled on both the floor and walls and features a wall-hung toilet and a small washbasin. The utility room has a rustic oak wood floor and stucco walls and ceiling, with a light strip for illumination. This space houses the washing machine setup.
The luxury open kitchen was installed in 2021 and features a composite worktop. It is equipped with a four-burner Bora cooktop with integrated carbon filter, an ATAG combi-oven, a Bosch dishwasher from 2012, a refrigerator, an apothecary cabinet, and a sink. The kitchen also provides access to the crawl space beneath the house via a hatch.
The spacious living room flows seamlessly from the kitchen and is finished with a rustic oak wood floor. The walls and ceiling have stucco finishes with decorative moldings and spot lighting. PVC sliding doors from 2019 open up to the backyard, creating a pleasant connection between indoor and outdoor living. An open staircase leads from the living room to the first floor.
The first floor landing has a parquet floor with stucwork on the walls and ceiling. This floor accommodates three bedrooms and a complete bathroom. The master bedroom and the two additional bedrooms are finished with laminate flooring, stucwork on the walls (with the master bedroom partially covered in wallpaper), and spray-applied ceiling finish.
The bathroom is fully tiled on both floors and walls and features a PVC system ceiling. It includes a walk-in shower, a double vanity unit, a wall-hung toilet, and a design radiator. A fixed staircase from the landing leads to the second floor.
The second floor is currently configured as an open attic space that offers the potential to create a fourth bedroom. This level has a laminate floor, with the walls partially finished in structural paint and partially in wallpaper. The ceiling consists of gypsum panels. Knee walls provide additional storage space. A technical room houses the Remeha Tzerra HR combi boiler from 2023, as well as connections for a washing machine and dryer. A wooden Velux skylight brings natural light into this space.
The property benefits from an attached garage located at the front of the house. This garage is built using traditional construction methods with masonry cavity walls, a concrete floor, and bituminous roofing that was renewed in 2022. It features a steel tilt-up door. The garage offers versatility and could serve as a practice space, hobby room, or for storage purposes. Two private parking spaces are situated in front of the garage and the home's entrance.
The south-facing backyard is sunny and features paving, a fence, planted borders with perennial plants, and an electric sun screen. At the rear of the garden, a covered canopy creates a cozy outdoor living space. A gate in the canopy provides access to the fire lane at the back. The front garden is paved and includes an outdoor water tap.
The property is heated by a Remeha Tzerra HR combi boiler installed in 2023. The home has ten solar panels, which are rented rather than owned. Exterior paintwork at the back of the property dates from 2022, while interior paintwork was completed in 2025.
The village of Made offers various amenities including multiple supermarkets, sports facilities, and educational institutions. The location provides excellent accessibility with the A59 highway nearby and the A16 and A27 also reachable within a few minutes by car. The central position allows for convenient travel to cities such as Rotterdam, Antwerp, Utrecht, and 's-Hertogenbosch.
The sale will be conducted using the model purchase agreement established by VBO, the Consumers' Association, and the Association of Homeowners. A deposit or bank guarantee of ten percent of the purchase price is standard. Given the construction year, an asbestos clause and age clause will likely be included in the agreement.
