Lage Rijndijk, Leiden (approx. 97 m²) € 2075,- excl. utilities

On the edge of Leiden’s city center, in a place where the city once ended and cows still grazed in the fields, you’ll find this special home in a former barn. A few years ago, this characteristic building was carefully and thoughtfully transformed into a small-scale apartment complex, while fully preserving the soul of the property. The old beams, barn windows, and original doors still tell the story of the past, while the finish is modern and luxurious. With underfloor heating, good insulation, and energy label B, the home is surprisingly comfortable to live in.

The location is truly ideal. Within a few minutes’ walk you reach the Zijlpoort, and from there you can easily enter Leiden’s historic city center, with its canals, restaurants, cafés, and museums. The train station is also nearby, allowing for quick and easy access to the wider Randstad region. And by car, you can reach the A4 motorway in no time.

The home itself has a playful layout spread over three floors, giving it a spacious and unique feel. On the ground floor, you’ll find a generous bedroom with a luxurious bathroom. One level up is the living room with an open kitchen and an impressive mezzanine, which creates a wonderfully open and airy atmosphere. Adjacent to this is the second bathroom, fitted with a shower, toilet, and sink. At the top, there is a pleasant sleeping or work area with access to a sunny, spacious south-facing roof terrace, offering unobstructed views over the surrounding area towards the Rhine and Leiden’s city center.
A rare combination of history, atmosphere, comfort, and a location that perfectly balances city living with excellent accessibility. The property is available for rent for a period of one year.
