The Turf Ring:
The Turfsingel is one of the oldest waterways in Gouda and used to play a significant role in the transport of turf, which was the city's main fuel for centuries. Along the canal stood warehouses and small workshops where ships would dock daily to unload their cargo. Due to its favorable location on the edge of the historic center, the Turfsingel grew into a lively connection route between various city canals. Nowadays, the area is popular because of the charming mix of historical buildings, quiet residential streets, and open water. In summer, the canal is a popular route for pleasure boats, with rowboats and small vessels gliding slowly past picturesque quays. Thanks to the presence of the lock and views of the Kattensingel, there's always something to see here. It thus serves as both a historical setting and a modern meeting place for residents and passing recreational boaters.
Ground floor:
Through the entrance with a renewed meter cabinet, you reach the spacious living kitchen, featuring a stylish straight layout in taupe color and equipped with modern built-in appliances. The kitchen has an appropriate fixed service cabinet and extra storage space, ensuring that everything remains neatly within reach. Adjacent is the cozy living room, finished with solid, French smoked oak planks that immediately create a warm and homely atmosphere. The rods on the windows provide a beautiful view over the water of the Turfsingel, giving the living room a lively yet calming character. At the back of the house are the modern toilet and the staircase leading to the first floor.
First floor:
On the landing there is a practical built-in cupboard with connections for the washing machine. The first floor is fully equipped as a seating area and thus forms a particularly light and quiet living space. Thanks to the higher location, the view is even wider and you enjoy optimal privacy in relation to passing boats. The living room is extremely atmospheric, finished with French oak and characterized by authentic details, such as the brick fireplace (not in use) and the beautiful wooden beams visible in the ceiling. The view over the water of the Turfsingel and the outlook towards the Kattensingel make this floor a unique place to relax comfortably.
Second floor
The second floor makes one think of a luxury hotel suite, with an open bathroom equipped with a generous soaking tub, walk-in shower, vanity unit, a second toilet, heated mirror and comfortable floor heating. The open, high ceiling construction (insulated) gives this floor a particularly atmospheric and spacious appearance. Thanks to the skylight, there is extra daylight entering, giving the room a light and serene ambiance. From the bed, you have a splendid view over the water, so that you wake up every morning with the soothing image of passing boats.
