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

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) one can find shops for daily needs as well as the school center. In Bensberg (7 km) and Bergisch Gladbach (8 km) you will find specialist shops and doctors.

From Bensberg there is a tram connection to Cologne. From Bergisch Gladbach, there is an S-Bahn connection to Cologne Central Station.

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

The house has a fundamentally solid structure. It was completed in several construction phases. The front apartment was ready for occupancy in 1965, while the rear one was completed in several stages in 1997. Our father was originally a mason. He had every stone and every brick in this house placed by his own hands.

The property is fully basemented (approx. 170 m²) and some of the basement rooms have daylight and several direct ground-level access points to the outside. There are two large rooms that have also been used temporarily as living spaces. However, they are also suitable as offices or workrooms. In the basement there is also a small shower room and a small kitchenette, as well as two garage spaces, a workshop area, a storage room, a heating cellar, and a large laundry room.

The two apartments have separate electricity meters and heating cost distributors, should you wish to record the heating energy for the apartments separately.

The house needs renovation. Although all the windows are thermal panes, the ones in the front part of the building date from 1965 and should be replaced in due time. The parquet flooring (solid wood strip parquet) in three rooms is discolored by sunlight and could be sanded and resealed. Wallpapering or a new coat of paint is recommended in most rooms. The exterior facade could certainly be designed more attractively.

The roof was re-covered in 2019 (flat roof). The heating system (oil, 2016) is in good condition. A solar collector on the roof helps with hot water production by filling a large hot water tank in the heating cellar. The heating system has been freshly serviced, and the chimney sweep was here in January and confirmed that everything is in order. The chimney on the roof was newly finished this year.
