Haarlemmerstraat 299-A2312 DV LeidenMarewijk

Distinctive large property with four addresses, permits for rental, potential for extension and access via easement – on freehold land in the heart of Leiden In the heart of historic Leiden, between the lively Haarlemmerstraat and the atmospheric Oude Rijn, lies this spacious and characterful property with three separate addresses (Haarlemmerstraat 299A, 297B, and 297C) and a passageway via Oude Rijn 176A (based on easement, for access to the rear). The property has the necessary conversion and rental permits – rare in Leiden's city centre – and stands on its own land. The upper floors (299A, including access via Oude Rijn 176A) will be vacant at the end of February 2026 and the entire property at the end of June 2026, offering excellent opportunities for own use, expansion or redevelopment. Thanks to the flat roof, there is also the possibility of building an extension, as has already been done with various neighbouring properties. The entire top floors will be free of lease at the end of February 2026. 297C will be free of lease at the end of June 2026. 297B will be free of lease at the end of April 2026. This creates the opportunity to modernise the property entirely according to your own vision, to merge it or to sell or let it in parts - a rare opportunity in the city centre of Leiden. Layout: Ground floor – Haarlemmerstraat 297B and 297C: Both furnished independent units have their own front door on Haarlemmerstraat. The meter cupboards, central heating boilers and mechanical ventilation are located here. There is also a small front garden at the front, which adds extra charm to the street scene.
