charming listed building of approximately 310 m² with a spacious garden and exceptional scope for modernisation entirely to your own taste, whilst preserving the style of its beautiful ornamentation and character.
Situated on the characteristic Zuiddijk, this exceptionally spacious dyke house offers a living area of approximately 309 m², spread over three full storeys and complemented by an attic. A house of impressive dimensions, historic charm and, above all, great potential. The garden behind the house is impressive.
Its heritage status is evident in, amongst other things, the striking façade architecture, the characteristic entrance, high ceilings, generous windows and the house’s exceptional dimensions. These historic qualities form a wonderful basis for a careful renovation in which the original character can be preserved and combined with contemporary living comfort.
The property is in a state of disrepair and therefore offers a wonderful opportunity for a new owner to renovate it entirely to their own taste and lifestyle requirements. The generous dimensions, large rooms and solid foundations allow for a wide range of layouts. From a spacious family home with multiple living and working areas to a property where living, working and one or more guest accommodation units can be effortlessly combined.
Layout
Ground floor
The entrance in the centre of the house leads into the central hall, which connects the various rooms on this floor.
At the front are two particularly spacious rooms. The current living room and dining room together span almost the entire width of the house. The dining room has a ceiling height of approximately 3.25 metres, which immediately creates a lovely sense of space. Thanks to their generous dimensions, these rooms are ideally suited to a large living room with a separate dining room, but also to a more open-plan and contemporary layout. The space on the left is divided into a living room and a dining room by a charming set of double doors.
At the rear is the kitchen, which boasts a beautiful, sweeping view of the garden. Here too, the dimensions offer plenty of possibilities. For instance, it is easy to imagine creating a spacious kitchen-diner here during a future renovation, one that is more closely connected to the garden.
This floor also features a toilet, the staircase leading down to the garden level and the staircase to the first floor.
The ground floor has a usable area of a wonderfully spacious 124 m².
Basement/Garden Level
The side entrance also provides access to the back garden and the garden level.
The basement/garden level, with approximately 95 m² of living space, is remarkably spacious and effectively forms a fully-fledged additional living level, as this is a house built on a dyke.
It currently comprises two spacious rooms, a kitchen, several storage rooms and various ancillary spaces. Thanks to its generous dimensions and the presence of natural light, this level offers a wide range of potential uses.
Consider, for example, a guest accommodation, a home office, a playroom, a gym, a TV or cinema room, or a combination of these. This floor is also particularly valuable for a family in need of plenty of additional living and storage space.
First floor
The first floor features no fewer than four bedrooms, though the layout can, of course, be adapted.
Spacious bedrooms are situated on either side of the central landing. The rooms are all generously proportioned, offering ample space for a large family, a combination of bedrooms and studies, or, for example, a comfortable guest floor.
The bathroom is situated centrally on this floor. There is also a separate toilet.
The potential of this floor is also clearly evident: thanks to the generous floor area of approximately 91 m², a renovation could involve a completely new layout, such as a spacious master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe, combined with several children’s bedrooms, studies or guest rooms.
Attic
The attic is accessible from this floor. Due to the limited headroom, this space is not included in the living area, but it does offer additional storage space.
Garden
One of the great features of Zuiddijk 119 is the exceptionally spacious back garden of approximately 215 m².
The garden extends deep behind the house and offers plenty of space for several patios, greenery, a play area and a spacious outdoor seating area. At the back of the garden there is also a detached storage shed, which can also be used as a garage.
Outside too, the new owner can design the space entirely to their own taste. With a contemporary redesign, this could become a particularly attractive and sheltered garden, the size of which complements the scale of the house perfectly.
