Unique Ground Floor Apartment with Renovation Potential in Den Bosch
Key Features
Description
VDH wonen makelaardij presents this remarkable property located on the Zuid-Willemsvaart in Den Bosch. This building carries a rich history, having served for decades as the workplace of a passionate and skilled clockmaker. For many years, this is where the clockmaker worked, sold clocks, and received customers. It was a place where care and precision were always central, and now space is being created for a new purpose: the realization of a pleasant residence in a prime location.
The property is located on the ground floor and is being sold as living space. It can be completely arranged, renovated, and finished according to your own taste and preferences. Whether you envision a robust loft-like atmosphere, a modern ground floor apartment, or a creative live-work space, the possibilities are extensive here. The current layout provides a practical foundation with an office space, kitchen, storage room, and a toilet. In addition, there is a large open space that lends itself perfectly as a living room with an open kitchen. The space and flexibility make this an interesting location with numerous possibilities.
The location is truly excellent. Situated on the edge of the popular Bossche inner city and directly adjacent to the future Zuid-Willemspark. Significant work is currently underway on the transformation of the canal area into a green and vibrant city park where water, walking, cycling, and social interaction take center stage. The Zuid-Willemspark is intended to become a new green lung for the city, with attractive routes along the water, space for relaxation, and a strong connection between the inner city and surrounding neighborhoods. This development not only makes the area greener and more attractive, but also adds future value to the entire neighborhood.
It is important to note that this concerns a former clockmaker's premises that has been converted for residential use. The property is situated on the ground floor only. The current layout includes an office space, kitchen, storage room, and toilet. There is a large open space that is ideal for a living room and open kitchen combination. A rear entrance is available, providing additional convenience and access options.
One significant advantage for the buyer is that the entire flat roof will be renewed and provided with insulation at the seller's expense. Additionally, the gutters will be completely renewed. This represents a substantial cost saving for the new owner and ensures that this important part of the building will be in excellent condition.
The property is classified as a ground floor apartment (benedenwoning) within an existing building constructed in 1920. It is located within a protected city or village view area, which speaks to the historical and architectural value of the surroundings. The usable living area measures 92 square meters, with a total volume of 326 cubic meters. The property contains three rooms in total, including one bedroom. The layout spans one living level, which is the ground floor.
Regarding the legal and administrative aspects, the property is offered at a price of 459,000 euros, costs to be paid by the buyer (kosten koper). This translates to approximately 4,989 euros per square meter. The acceptance terms are to be negotiated (in overleg). The property is available and currently on the market. There is no energy label available at this time, which is something prospective buyers should take into consideration when evaluating the energy efficiency and potential costs of the property.
The cadastral information indicates the property is located in 's-Hertogenbosch, section H, number 6847. The ownership situation is full ownership (volle eigendom), meaning the buyer will own the property outright without any leasehold or similar arrangements.
An important aspect to note is that there is no active homeowners association (VvE) registered with the Chamber of Commerce. There is no annual meeting, no periodic contribution, no reserve fund, no maintenance plan, and no building insurance arranged through a VvE. This is consistent with the property being a ground floor apartment where the owner is likely responsible for their own maintenance and insurance arrangements.
This is not a standard residence but rather a rare opportunity to create something special. It is a place with a past and plenty of future potential. The combination of the historical character as a former clockmaker's workshop, the flexible layout possibilities, the upcoming roof renovation at the seller's expense, and the exceptional location near both the inner city and the developing Zuid-Willemspark makes this a unique offering in the Den Bosch real estate market.
The property is particularly suited for buyers who are looking for something out of the ordinary and who have the vision and willingness to customize a space to their own specifications. Given that the property requires finishing and renovation work, it is best suited for buyers who are prepared to undertake or oversee such a project. The mention that all sizes and surfaces are indicative suggests that prospective buyers should verify the exact measurements during a viewing.
In summary, this ground floor apartment on the Zuid-Willemsvaart offers a distinctive combination of historical character, renovation potential, an excellent location on the edge of the Bossche inner city, and the promising outlook of the future Zuid-Willemspark development. The forthcoming roof renewal by the seller adds practical value to this offering.
