Detached house with garden, garage and canal view in Ter Aar

This is a very neat detached house with its own driveway, garage, three spacious bedrooms, a large and especially green garden with plenty of privacy and with a view of the Aarkanaal. The property is located at Westkanaalweg 111-A in Ter Aar and offers approximately 130 square meters of living space on a generous plot of 572 square meters.

The ground floor of the house features an extended living area at both the front and back, completed in 2000. This extension has created a very spacious and bright living space. The U-shaped living room with open kitchen forms the heart of the home. The kitchen is situated in a corner arrangement and includes built-in appliances such as an electric hob, dishwasher, oven, refrigerator and microwave. Despite its age, the kitchen remains very solid and functional. There is ample space to install a kitchen with a cooking/sink island, allowing for the creation of a true living kitchen.

From the kitchen, you can enjoy views over the Aarkanaal at the front of the property. The seating area at the rear offers views of the green garden. The living room has floor-to-ceiling windows on all sides, providing plenty of natural light and creating a spacious feeling. The entire ground floor has neutral walls and neat parquet flooring, except for the hallway.

The entrance is located on the side of the house, leading into a hallway with a practical niche for coats, a meter cupboard, a toilet room, and a storage cupboard under the stairs. The toilet room is spacious and features a wall toilet, a small sink, and neat tiling. A window provides natural light in this space.

The first floor can be reached via the staircase in the hallway. Here you will find three full-size bedrooms, a bathroom, and a separate toilet. All bedrooms are generously sized. The master bedroom at the rear offers enough space for a double bed and a wardrobe wall, with views over the green backyard. The other bedrooms are also spacious, with the smallest currently used as a hobby/home office.

The bathroom was renovated in 2020 and has a modern finish with white and gray tiles in a granite look. It features a walk-in shower with glass walls, a practical towel radiator, a washbasin in a vanity unit, a mirror with lighting, and comfortable underfloor heating.

Throughout the first floor, the walls are neatly finished, with carpeting in some areas and laminate flooring in the bedrooms. Along the entire length of the house, there is a large attic accessible via a folding ladder from the master bedroom. This space offers ample storage and houses the central heating boiler (2022) and mechanical ventilation system.

Adjacent to the house is a spacious attached garage built in 2000 with insulated cavity walls and roof. The garage has heating and connections for a washing machine. It features an electrically operated insulated roller door at the front and another insulated roller door at the back, providing easy access from the front of the property to the backyard. The garage offers enough space for parking a car, storing bicycles, and/or garden equipment.

The garden around the property is very green and naturally designed. A small ditch with waterfalls adds to the character of the garden. The garden surrounds the house, except along the garage side. Directly behind the house, a terrace has been laid out, offering enough space for an outdoor dining table and lounge set. Because the house is situated on a dike, the garden slopes gently downward. The garden mainly consists of a neat lawn with greenery around. High green fencing at the rear provides plenty of privacy.

The depth of the garden allows you to enjoy both sun and shade throughout the day.

The house benefits from several important features. Energy label C has been achieved, with the entire property fitted with hardwood window frames with HR++ glazing. The exterior painting was done in 2024. The side windows have electrically operated sun blinds. The central heating boiler is a Remeha Tzerra Ace 39C 5 CW combination boiler (gas-fired) from 2022.

During the renovation in 2000, new electrical wiring, as well as drain/sewer, water, and gas connections were installed throughout the house. A computer network (RJ45) and a coax network are also present.

The property is located on a through road directly along the Aarkanaal, on the edge of the village center of Ter Aar. The location is in the middle of the Green Heart, a short distance from Alphen aan den Rijn and Nieuwkoop. For daily groceries, you can walk within minutes to the shopping center of Ter Aar. There are also various facilities in the immediate vicinity, such as childcare, a primary school, playgrounds, and a football club.

Outdoor swimming pool De Aarweide and in winter an ice rink are also a short distance from the property. There is plenty of nature and water in the immediate surroundings, including the Langeraarse Plassen and the Nieuwkoopse Plassen.

Ter Aar has a good bus connection to the NS stations Leiden Centraal and Alphen aan den Rijn. From there, the major cities are easily accessible. By car, the location is also favorable: the N207 and N460 provide connections to the N11 (towards Leiden, Bodegraven, Boskoop and surrounding areas) and the A4 (towards Amsterdam, Schiphol and surrounding areas).

It is worth noting that the ditch along the plot must be kept clean for inspection by the Water Board. The revetment along the plot is privately owned and was renewed in 2018.

This property offers a unique opportunity to live in a spacious detached house with a beautiful garden, garage and beautiful views in a convenient location with many amenities nearby.
