Spacious detached bungalow on large plot with garden privacy

This detached bungalow is situated on van Gistellelaan 9 in the centre of Axel, a village in the municipality of Terneuzen located in Zeeland. The property stands on 969 square meters of freehold land and offers ground floor living with three bedrooms, making it suitable for those seeking single-storey accommodation.

The bungalow was constructed in 1964 and features a flat roof covered with bituminous roofing material. The roof covering was replaced in 2022, which is a significant maintenance item already addressed. Construction is traditional with a concrete frame structure.

The living area measures 83 square metres, with an additional 19 square metres of other indoor space, 5 square metres of building-related outdoor space, and 27 square metres of external storage comprising a detached garage. The total indoor volume is 378 cubic metres.

Upon entering the property, you arrive in a hall that contains the meter cupboard, a pantry, and a storage cupboard. The hall features ceramic floor tiling. From the hall, you can access all main rooms of the bungalow.

The closed kitchen is positioned at the front of the house and is equipped with a straight kitchen arrangement including an induction cooking plate and extractor hood. The kitchen provides practical functionality for everyday meal preparation.

The living room is also located at the front of the property, offering pleasant views over a green public space. The main bedroom with built-in wardrobes is accessible from the living room, providing convenient storage solutions. The remaining two bedrooms or work rooms are reached through the hall. One of these rooms features a fitted wardrobe and a washbasin. The living areas and bedrooms are finished with laminate flooring.

The bathroom contains a spacious walk-in shower and a fixed washbasin. Adjacent to the bathroom, there is a separate toilet area. The utility room houses the washing machine connection and the central heating boiler. The central heating system is a Vaillant gas-fired combination boiler from 2014, which is owned rather than rented.

A practical airlock entry vestibule provides access to the terrace and the generous rear garden. Between the house and the garage, there is a wide passage with a gate, allowing vehicle access to the back of the property. The garden wraps around the property and offers considerable privacy. The large outdoor space provides opportunities for gardening enthusiasts, hobbyists, or creating multiple seating areas.

The detached single-storey garage is constructed of brick and is wide enough to accommodate one car. It features an electric sectional door and is equipped with an inspection pit and electricity connection. Behind the garage, there is a half-open covered storage area providing additional outdoor shelter.

The property is finished with plastic window frames fitted with HR Plus glass, which provides improved insulation compared to standard double glazing. Shutters are installed around the entire perimeter of the building. Solar panels are present on the property, contributing to energy efficiency. The bungalow has cavity wall insulation and roof insulation.

Despite these insulation measures, the energy label is rated D, indicating that there is room for improvement in overall energy performance. The central heating system from 2014 is relatively modern and should provide reliable operation for many years.

The plot consists of two registered parcels with a combined area of 969 square metres. The property overlooks a green public space at the front and has open countryside views at the rear, creating a peaceful residential environment.

Parking is available on the private driveway and in the garage, with additional public parking available nearby. The property is connected to fibre optic cable for modern internet and communication needs.

The asking price is 349,000 euros costs for the buyer, which translates to 4,205 euros per square metre of living space. This figure reflects the substantial plot size and the inclusion of the detached garage, though comparable sales data for Axel would be needed to assess market positioning.

In summary, this property offers a rare combination of a large freehold plot, ground floor living accommodation, and a detached garage in a quiet residential location with open views. The bungalow requires some finishing touches, presenting an opportunity for the new owner to personalise the property to their own taste.
