House for sale 5+1 • 171 m² without real estateUntersteinbach 1, , North Rhine-Westphalia

Doppel bungalow with two separate apartments that can be used together. In addition, there is a spacious plot with a total area of 3,806 m². Of this, 775 m² is buildable land, 2,490 m² is green space, and 541 m² is forest.

There is plenty of space, for example for keeping animals. A stable with two rooms is located in the middle of the green area. It was most recently used as a bee house, but it can also be used for other types of animals.

The property is located outside the village of Herkenrath in an absolutely rural area and still belongs to Bergisch Gladbach.

In Herkenrath (1.5 km away), you will find everyday shops as well as the school center. In Bensberg (7 km) and Bergisch Gladbach (8 km) you can find specialty stores and specialists.

There is a tram connection to Cologne from Bensberg. From Bergisch Gladbach, an S-Bahn connection is available to Cologne’s main station.

The motorway interchange Moitzfeld/Bensberg is 6.5 km away. The Cologne Cathedral is 24 km away.

The house has a fundamentally sound building structure. It was completed in several construction phases. The front apartment was ready for occupancy in 1965, while the rear one was finished in several stages in 1997. Our father was originally a bricklayer. He personally handled every stone and every brick in this house.

The property is fully basemented (approx. 170 m²) and several basement rooms have daylight and multiple direct ground-level exits to the outdoors. There are two large rooms that have even been used temporarily for residential purposes. However, they are also suitable as office or workshop space. In the basement there is also a small shower room and a small kitchenette. Additionally, there are two garage spaces, a workshop area, a storage room, a heating cellar, and a large utility room.

The two apartments have separate electricity meters and heating cost allocators if you wish to measure the heating energy used separately for each apartment.

The house needs some renovation. Although all the windows are double-glazed, those in the front part of the house date back to 1965 and should eventually be replaced. The parquet floor (solid wood strip parquet) in three rooms has become discolored from sunlight and could be sanded down and resealed. Wallpapering or a new coat of paint is recommended in most rooms. The exterior facade could certainly be designed more attractively.

The flat roof was re-covered in 2019. The heating system (oil, 2016) is in good condition. A new burner was installed in the autumn of 2025. For hot water, a solar collector on the roof helps fill a large hot water tank in the heating cellar. The heating system has been freshly serviced, and the chimney sweep was there in January to check that everything is in order. The chimney on the roof was re-clad this year.
