Flat to rent 3+kk • 80 m² without real estateFriehoffstr. 4 Bochum-Höntrop Höntrop Nordrhein-Westfalen 44869

The apartment on offer is located in a well-maintained and regularly serviced multi-family building with 8 residential units. In this building, only one- to two-person households reside. All exterior walls of the free-standing house and the attic are thermally insulated. The roof was also newly re-covered a few years ago. In addition, a new front door was installed a few years ago; it is equipped with an intercom system and external mailboxes. At the back of the house, there is a beautifully maintained garden. Access to the garden is available via the basement exit or through the tenant’s own balcony, which also provides direct access to the garden via a small flight of steps. In the basement of the building, there is a space for a washing machine where the tenant’s own dryer and washing machine can be placed, as well as a private storage room. There is also an option to dry laundry in the attic. The house features a new gas central heating system with a central hot water supply, operating as an energy-saving condensing boiler. Hot water consumption is metered separately so that each tenant pays only for what is consumed. Energy-intensive installations like instantaneous water heaters are not present.

Friehoffstraße is a quiet side street off the Wattenscheider Hellweg, and no noise from the main road can be heard. Shops for daily needs are reachable on foot within 5 to 10 minutes. These include not only the usual stores such as bakeries and supermarkets but also pharmacies and doctors. The downtown area of Wattenscheid is about a 7-minute drive, and Bochum City—with its “Bermuda Triangle”—can be reached in about 10 minutes by car. Public transport is accessible on foot in approximately 2 minutes, with buses and trams running at short intervals to Bochum City. The S-Bahn connection at Höntrop is also not far by foot. The motorway connection to the A 40 is reachable within a six-minute drive, and you can quickly reach Bochum Main Station by public transport.

This is a first occupancy apartment after extensive modernization. The entire electrical installation has been renewed with many sockets installed in all rooms; the kitchen’s tiled wall and floor have been redone; genuine hardwood parquet floors in light oak have been newly installed in the living, bedroom, and children’s rooms; and all painting work has been carried out—including coarse textured wallpaper, white binder paint finishes, and refinished lacquer on all radiator and wooden surfaces.

The apartment features a large sun balcony of roughly 8 m², which is oriented toward the garden and provides direct access to it via steps descending from the balcony. Here, the sun shines from early afternoon until sunset.

Both the bathroom and the separate guest toilet were completely renovated some time ago, including new, high-quality modern tiles, sanitary fittings, and plumbing. In this context, the hallway was also newly tiled with surrounding base tile trims. Both sanitary areas have windows. The bathroom comprises a bathtub, a separate shower tray, a WC, and a washbasin, while the second WC and washbasin are located in the guest toilet.

The plastic windows and the balcony door system with insulated glazing were also completely renewed some time ago. All rooms are accessible from the hallway and are additionally equipped with roller shutters.

Keeping a dog is not permitted.

The apartment is not suitable for a shared flat.

Please note that the photos show a mirrored version of an apartment in the building, which was modernized in the same way last year and has the same layout and equipment. Current photos of the apartment available for rent are not yet available, as it is not completely finished. However, the rental can already begin on October 15 / November 1, 2025, as the apartment will be completed by the craftsmen during that week and will be ready for handover after the final cleaning.
