At the edge of the village core of Simpelveld, we are pleased to offer this surprisingly spacious house from 1915. With almost 170 m² of living space, divided between the original house and an annex, there is a sea of room and possibilities; from spacious family home to double occupancy, B&B or home office/practice (subject to permits). In 2014, the main house was largely renovated, a few years ago major improvements were made, from making the exterior walls waterproof, additional foundation for the outbuilding to a completely new bathroom. The whole is now practically move-in ready and offers a unique opportunity to live spacious with a beautiful view of the green hills/fields behind.

The spacious garden indeed offers a beautiful free view of the gently rolling landscape. Almost directly next to the house is a footpath that allows you to immediately enjoy a lovely walk in nature, ideal for walkers and dog lovers! It is a quiet and child-friendly neighborhood. Within just a few hundred meters walking distance is the center of Simpelveld, where among others Action, Plus and Kruidvat are located, as well as a primary school, restaurants etc. By car Maastricht, Heerlen, Sittard and Aken are quickly reachable due to a favorable location in relation to the motorways.

In summary, a special object with many possibilities on a beautiful location, at an affordable price!

CLASSIFICATION

Ground floor:
Entry, entrance hall with meter box and access to the living room. The L-shaped living room (approx. 38 m²) is divided into a seating and dining area and is provided with a beautiful wooden floor. The semi-open kitchen (approx. 11 m²) was renovated in 2019 (only the oven and microwave are from 2014) and is equipped with all necessary appliances and offers a nice view of the backyard and gently sloping countryside. At the back of the living room is a beautiful custom-made steel spiral staircase to the first floor. There is also a door here to the annex.

The first room of the extension (ca. 12 m2) is equipped with underfloor heating and currently serves as a yoga room. The second room, located behind the first extension, is used as a storage room/secondary kitchen. This space has a separate closet where the central heating boiler (property, Nefit combi boiler 2014) and the modernized toilet are located. There is also a second staircase to the first floor and a door to the backyard/patio. Ideal for people who use this part for dual occupancy or home office/practice.

1st floor:
Accessible via the spiral staircase from the living room is the spacious landing (12 m²) which provides access to the bathroom and bedroom in the main house, as well as a bedroom in the annex. The bathroom (approx. 10 m²) was completely renovated in 2021 and is equipped with underfloor heating, a freestanding bath, large walk-in shower, double sink and floating toilet. From the bathroom there is also a nice view of the green backyard.

The master bedroom is accessible from the hallway and is approximately 14 m². From this room, you have access to a second room of about 15 m² that can ideally function as a walk-in closet or, when there are small children, as a children's room, so that access to the room is quick. Here there is also a hatch, neatly recessed in the ceiling, which provides access via a carpeted staircase to the spacious attic.

Just like in the lower floor, the extremely thick walls (40-50 cm deep) that give the house extra character and insulation are noticeable here as well.

The third and fourth bedroom are located in the extension and are neatly finished, including large window openings, which, like all other windows, are made of plastic with double glazing and have hinges adapted to the style of the house. Most of the windows are equipped with shutters, which have been removed for the winter but can be easily reinstalled. Both rooms are approximately 12 m² and are separated by the second staircase leading downwards towards the kitchenette/toilet.

The roof of the main house was renewed in 2011, the front with roof tiles where also six solar panels are installed, the back side with EPDM (qualitatively better than a bitumen roof). The flat roof of the extension is provided with bitumen and here seven solar panels are installed, in total 13 rented/leased solar panels.

Garden
The house is equipped with a small front garden that gives the house just that little extra bit of privacy and a spacious backyard located in the northeast and accessible via a gate on the left side of the house. The entrance belongs to the neighbors, but there is an established right of way here, ensuring access.

Thanks to the demolition of a second outbuilding/outhouse in 2021, there is now extra usable garden area and this also offers many possibilities. From extra play space to a vegetable garden.

The neighbors on the left side are working on an extension. Agreements have been made about the windows they are going to install: milk glass glazing and these windows cannot be opened, ensuring privacy remains guaranteed.
WML has a plan to reduce waterlogging in the surrounding area, for which plans have also been made for the municipality of Simpelveld. WML wants to place a water buffer in the meadow behind the house. These plans are not yet final, nor is the location. When this water buffer is installed, it will have a natural appearance.
