Characterful 1930s Detached Home with Expansive Garden
Key Features
Description
This detached 1930s residence is situated in the desirable village of Zuidveen and presents a compelling opportunity for buyers seeking a home with character and potential. The property sits on a generous plot of 718 square metres, with the rear garden alone measuring 534 square metres and extending to a depth of nearly 30 metres. This outdoor space has been thoughtfully landscaped and offers a green, sheltered environment that provides privacy and a genuine connection to outdoor living throughout the seasons.
The interior of the home spans 149 square metres of living space across two floors, with an additional 12 square metres of auxiliary indoor space. Upon entering through the main entrance, one is greeted by a notably long hallway that immediately conveys the sense of space and character typical of homes from this era. The ceilings on the ground floor are of generous height, and various authentic elements have been preserved, contributing to the atmosphere of the property.
The ground floor layout includes a bedroom at the front of the house, which features an original fireplace mantel that adds a distinctive touch to the room. This arrangement provides flexibility for those who may prefer main floor sleeping accommodations or wish to use the space as a study or sitting room.
Also located on the ground floor is the primary bathroom, equipped with a double vanity unit, a shower, and a bathtub. The listing notes that this bathroom requires renovation, which presents an opportunity for the new owner to customise this space according to personal preferences and modern standards.
The second hallway serves as the primary daily entrance point and provides access to both the garden and the driveway. A toilet is conveniently situated in this area, along with the entrance to the front living room. This living space is described as atmospheric and welcoming, featuring a gas fireplace that serves as a focal point. A built-in library corner has been incorporated into the design, creating a cosy reading nook that makes efficient use of the available space.
At the rear of the ground floor, the living kitchen represents one of the standout spaces within the home. The kitchen is fitted with various built-in appliances and benefits from folding doors that open directly onto the garden, effectively blurring the boundary between indoor and outdoor living during warmer months. The views from this room across the garden are noted as being particularly appealing and change character with the seasons. A practical utility room adjoins the kitchen and contains the washing machine connection. Access to a cellar is also available from the kitchen area, providing useful additional storage capacity.
The first floor of the property shows the initial stages of renovation work. At the rear, a spacious bedroom is currently in the final stages of finishing. This room has been enhanced with the installation of two skylights, ensuring ample natural light enters the space. Preparations have also been made for the installation of a second bathroom on this floor, though this will require completion by the new owner.
At the front of the first floor, three additional bedrooms are provided, offering ample accommodation for a family. A separate toilet is located on this level for convenience. The central heating boiler installation is also situated on the first floor.
In terms of services and energy efficiency, the property holds an energy label F. Insulation measures that have been implemented include roof insulation, partial wall insulation, and mostly double glazing. Heating is provided by a combination boiler supplemented by the gas fireplace in the living room. The boiler is an Intergas model from 2007, which is included in the purchase. The property also features solar panels, which will contribute to reducing energy costs.
External features include a private driveway with an electric vehicle charging point, reflecting modern practical requirements. The rear garden is oriented to the northwest and is accessible via a side path, offering a degree of flexibility in how the outdoor space is used and accessed.
The location of Zuidveen combines the benefits of a green, tranquil residential environment with proximity to the amenities of the nearby town of Steenwijk. Shopping facilities, supermarkets, schools, sports facilities, restaurants, and the railway station are all reachable within a few minutes by car or bicycle. The property also benefits from convenient access to major roads and is positioned near the nature reserve De Weerribben-Wieden, an area renowned for its natural beauty and recreational opportunities.
The property is being offered at a price of 525,000 euros, which is subject to buyer costs. The asking price equates to approximately 3,523 euros per square metre of living space. Transfer terms are to be discussed, and the property is currently available on the market. The cadastral designation is Steenwijk C 3492, and the property is held in full ownership.
It should be noted that the property is located alongside a busy road and has an open aspect, which potential buyers may wish to consider in relation to their personal preferences regarding noise and privacy. The listing indicates that the home is partially renovated, with certain elements such as the ground floor bathroom and the second bathroom on the first floor still requiring completion. This aspect of the property may appeal to buyers who are seeking a project to customise according to their own tastes and requirements, while also benefiting from the character and proportions that a 1930s home typically offers.
