Spacious Family Home with Open Views and Garage in Heiloo
Key Features
Upsides
- The property offers unobstructed views at both the front and rear, which is a notable feature for a terraced house and enhances the sense of space and privacy.
- Recent renovations include a modern kitchen installed in 2025, a wooden garden canopy also from 2025, and new fences installed in 2026, indicating that key elements of the property have been updated.
- The inclusion of a detached stone garage of approximately 18 square metres provides secure parking and additional storage space, which is valuable in a residential neighbourhood.
- The location combines a quiet residential setting with excellent accessibility, being within walking distance of shops, schools, and public transport, with major cities like Amsterdam and Haarlem reachable within approximately thirty minutes.
- The attic level offers flexibility, with the current large room having the potential to be divided to create a fifth bedroom, accommodating different family needs over time.
Downsides
- The listing contains inconsistencies in key data points, with the construction year stated as both 1972 and 1978, and the living area given as both approximately 130 square metres and 119 square metres, which may cause uncertainty for potential buyers.
- The rear garden dimensions are surprisingly small at only 18 square metres (3 metres deep by 6.11 metres wide), which contrasts with the description of a spacious garden and may disappoint families seeking substantial outdoor space.
- The energy label situation is unclear, described as preliminary C in the text but listed as not available in the features section, and a C rating for a 1970s property suggests that further energy efficiency improvements may be needed.
- As a terraced house built in the 1970s, the property has shared walls with neighbouring properties, resulting in reduced privacy compared to detached homes, and the age of the building may entail future maintenance requirements.
- The central heating boiler dates from 2017, meaning it is approaching the typical replacement age of 15 to 20 years, which could represent a future expense for buyers.
