Upsides

- Recently renovated kitchen from 2022 with practical L-shaped layout, built-in appliances, and sufficient space for a dining table, creating an attractive living kitchen arrangement.
- Four bedrooms on the first floor, with the three additional bedrooms each having their own washbasin, which is practical for families with children.
- Relatively free position on the edge of Poeldijk with good accessibility to the village center, other Westland villages, and the main roads to The Hague and Rotterdam, all within cycling or short driving distance.
- Ample parking on own property with car access to the rear of the residence where the outbuilding is located.
Downsides
- The property is being sold due to an estate settlement with an "as is, where is" clause, meaning buyers assume all risks regarding the condition of the property without recourse to the seller.
- The purchase agreement includes an asbestos clause, indicating that asbestos may be present somewhere on the property, which could require remediation at the buyer's expense.
- Built in 1935, the house has level differences on both floors and a pull-down ladder to access the attic, which may not suit all buyers and could present practical challenges or accessibility issues.
- Energy label C suggests the property has moderate energy efficiency despite having some insulation measures, which may result in higher energy costs compared to more recently renovated or newly built homes.
- The bathroom is approximately ten years old and may require updating in the near future depending on buyer preferences and the condition of the fixtures.
Description
Located at Wateringseweg 36 in Poeldijk, this semi-detached family home offers a unique combination of character and practicality. The property dates back to 1935 and features distinctive architectural elements that give it a warm and inviting atmosphere. With four bedrooms, a recently updated kitchen, and a remarkably spacious outbuilding, this residence presents numerous possibilities for families seeking a home with extra space.
The ground floor layout begins with an entrance that leads into an open and bright living room. This space benefits from multiple windows that allow natural light to enter freely. The walls and ceiling have been finished cleanly and adorned with decorative ornaments. A wooden herringbone pattern floor runs throughout the living area, and an open staircase positioned centrally provides access to the upper floor.
A notable feature connecting the living room to the kitchen is a set of ensuite doors with stained glass panels, which were installed during a previous renovation. These doors lead to the generous kitchen that was updated in 2022. The kitchen follows a practical L-shaped layout and comes equipped with various built-in appliances. There are also connections for a washing machine and dryer conveniently located here. Windows positioned above the work surface provide ample daylight and offer views of the backyard. The kitchen has sufficient space to accommodate a dining table, creating a pleasant living kitchen arrangement.
At the rear of the ground floor, a spacious hallway provides access to a toilet room, the garden, and internal doors leading to both the living room and kitchen. This layout ensures good circulation throughout the ground floor.
The backyard features a mix of mature planting and several terraces at different levels, adding visual interest to the outdoor space. The garden faces northeast and is accessible via a side path.
Standing behind the main residence is arguably the most remarkable feature of this property: a large multifunctional outbuilding with an upper floor and a dormer window. This structure spans two levels and offers exceptional versatility. On the ground floor, you will find a concrete floor, heating, and an electric roller door large enough to accommodate a vehicle. This space can easily serve as a garage, storage area for bicycles and garden equipment, or as a workshop for DIY enthusiasts and hobbyists. Preparations have been made to install a toilet facility in this building.
The upper level of the outbuilding features a wooden floor and receives abundant daylight across its full width thanks to the dormer window. This space lends itself well to various purposes, including creating a dedicated home office that provides the feeling of working away from home while remaining on your own property. The total external storage area measures 74 square meters, making this outbuilding significantly larger than typical garden sheds or garages.
The first floor of the main house is reached via the open staircase from the living room. A long U-shaped hallway provides access to four bedrooms and the bathroom. The main bedroom benefits from built-in closet space accessed through two louvered doors. The remaining three bedrooms each have their own washbasin, which is particularly convenient for families with growing children.
An interesting architectural detail is the level difference on this floor between the main bedroom and the other rooms, adding to the characteristic feel of the property. Panel doors and wooden window frames reflect the era in which the house was built. Each room on this floor has neutral laminate flooring.
The bathroom is approximately ten years old and includes a walk-in shower and a double vanity unit. A separate toilet is also located on this floor. Via the hallway, a pull-down ladder provides access to the attic space where the central heating boiler is installed.
The property is situated on the edge of Poeldijk, offering a relatively free position. The village center with its daily amenities can be reached within a few minutes by bicycle. The other village centers in the Westland region are nearby, and the roads leading to The Hague and Rotterdam are easily accessible.
Parking is available on the property itself, and access to the rear of the residence where the outbuilding is located can be reached by car via a path situated slightly further along the road. The front of the property is accessed through an ornamental steel gate.
The exterior of the house was painted approximately five years ago. The property has energy label C and features roof insulation, double glazing, and wall insulation. Heating and hot water are provided by a Nefit gas-fired combination boiler that is owned by the property.
It should be noted that this property is being sold due to an estate settlement. The purchase agreement will include standard clauses for older properties, a materials clause, an asbestos clause, and a clause stating the seller has not occupied the property. The sale will be conducted on an "as is, where is" basis. Delivery can take place on short notice by mutual agreement.
With its combination of a characterful family home and an exceptionally large and versatile outbuilding, this property offers a rare opportunity for buyers who value both living space and the ability to pursue hobbies, run a home business, or simply enjoy having ample storage and workspace on their own premises.
