Arent van 's-Gravesandestraat 63067 KA RotterdamHet Lage Land

ARENT VAN ’S-GRAVESANDESTRAAT 6 – ROTTERDAM Are you handy, do you see possibilities where others mainly see work, and would you love the opportunity to turn a house into a home that is truly your own? Then this could be a very interesting property for you. Because yes, Arent van ’s-Gravesandestraat 6 needs work. The kitchen and bathroom are old, the house has single glazing, insulation deserves attention and various finishes are ready for renewal. But take a good look at what you get in return: approximately 156 m² of living space spread over three floors, four bedrooms, a wide and deep living room, a substantial top floor and a rear garden almost 14 metres deep with a brick storage shed. This is not a house for someone who simply wants to unpack the moving boxes. It is a house for someone who is happy to roll up their sleeves and create a home entirely to their own taste. SPACE YOU CAN REALLY WORK WITH At more than six metres wide, the house has generous proportions. You notice this immediately on the ground floor. The living room extends almost the entire depth of the house and receives daylight from both the front and rear. At the back, double doors provide direct access to the garden. The current interior also makes one thing very clear: the property has not been modernised for quite some time. The wooden parquet floor is damaged and the kitchen really is ready for replacement. The upside is that you do not have to work around someone else's recent investments or personal taste when making your own plans. The kitchen is situated at the garden side and is currently connected to the living room. Its curved partition with built-in seating offers an interesting glimpse into the era in which this kitchen was created. For anyone planning a renovation, this part of the house provides plenty of space to rethink the relationship between cooking, dining and living. Both the living room and kitchen provide direct access to the rear garden. THREE BEDROOMS, A SEPARATE TOILET AND ANOTHER FLOOR ABOVE The first floor has three bedrooms. Two are situated at the rear and both provide access to the balcony. The third bedroom is at the front. The bathroom is also situated at the front and, once again, do not expect a modern finish. According to the information provided, it dates from the original construction period and is ready for renewal. Hot water for the bathroom is currently supplied by an electric boiler. During a larger renovation, there is the opportunity to investigate whether the central heating system could be used differently or relocated, allowing the hot-water system to be reconsidered as part of the overall plan. A practical feature is the separate toilet on this floor. It too is ready for an update, but having a toilet separate from the bathroom is certainly a useful starting point. A TOP FLOOR WHERE YOU NEED TO LOOK BEYOND WHAT YOU SEE TODAY And the house certainly does not end on the first floor. Upstairs you will find the fourth bedroom and a spacious landing beneath the sloping roof. Roof windows and a dormer bring in natural light, and this floor perhaps demonstrates the potential of the property better than anywhere else. Much of the inside of the roof is currently finished with reed, giving the top floor its rather distinctive appearance. Look beyond that finish, however, and you will see a substantial floor with attractive height beneath the roof. Removing the reed and, for example, creating a smooth plastered finish could completely transform the appearance of this floor. Some of the space beneath the sloping roof is too low to count as official living space, but it can of course still be very useful for storage. This is one of those floors where it is worth standing still for a moment during a viewing and imagining what you could make of it. A REAR GARDEN ALMOST 14 METRES DEEP And then there is the garden. In many ways, it reflects the house itself: plenty of space and plenty of opportunity to create something of your own. At approximately 13.8 metres deep, this really is a substantial rear garden. It is green and extends across the full width of the property. There is room for a terrace directly behind the house, while further into the garden there is a brick storage shed. Bicycles, garden equipment and all those renovation tools can therefore be stored out of sight. There is also a private front garden. For someone who wants the freedom to make their own plans both indoors and outside, there is a great deal to work with here. ENERGY IMPROVEMENTS COULD MAKE A REAL DIFFERENCE The property has energy label D. That may not sound like the most exciting part of a house, but for a buyer who is planning to renovate anyway, it is highly relevant. The house is currently largely fitted with single glazing and there is also considerable scope for improvement when it comes to insulation. The energy performance report identifies measures such as wall, roof and floor insulation and replacement glazing as possible improvements. If you are already planning to tackle the floors, kitchen, bathroom and finishes, energy-efficiency improvements can therefore be considered as part of the overall renovation. The Verbetercheck on Verbeterjehuis.nl allows you to create a personal improvement plan for this property, including indications of investment costs, energy costs and possible subsidies. Subject to the applicable conditions, there may also be options to finance energy-saving measures through additional mortgage borrowing. And not everything is old. The central heating boiler is actually very recent. An Intergas HRE A 28/24 CW4 was installed in October 2025 and is owned rather than leased. That is at least one item you can already cross off the renovation list. LIVING IN HET LAGE LAND Het Lage Land is a spacious and green residential neighbourhood in Rotterdam, and you can see that character in the surroundings of this property. Rather than the density and bustle of the city centre, this is an area with plenty of greenery and space between the buildings. Everyday amenities can be found within the neighbourhood, while the Rotterdam Alexander area is nearby for a wider range of shops and services. Rotterdam Alexander station offers train, metro and bus connections, and the main roads are also easily accessible from this part of Rotterdam. It is this combination that makes Het Lage Land appealing: you are still very much living in Rotterdam, with the city's amenities within easy reach, but you come home to a neighbourhood that feels considerably greener and more spacious. So, if you are looking for a perfectly finished home where there is nothing left to do, this is probably not the house for you. But if plenty of square metres, four bedrooms, an almost 14-metre-deep garden and the freedom to make your own choices from the very beginning sound appealing, then you should definitely come and have a look. You do not need to put on your work clothes just yet – but do bring your ideas to the viewing.
