End-of-terrace houses for sale in Utrechtse Heuvelrug
Corner houses on the Utrechtse Heuvelrug are scarce and sought after. Check the current supply and read what you need to know before making an offer.
Corner houses in a wooded municipality with low turnover
The Utrechtse Heuvelrug is no ordinary housing market. The municipality consists of a series of village centres, each with its own character, surrounded by national park and protected greenery. This naturally makes supply scarce. Corner houses are relatively rarely available here, and when they are, they sell quickly. They are almost always homes on quiet residential streets, often with a wider side strip or corner garden. This makes them popular with families who want to live outdoors, but also with people who consciously choose peace and space away from the Randstad.
The supply targets a broad audience: movers from Utrecht, people who work from home and need more space, and families who consciously choose the village scale. First-time buyers have a harder time: corner houses in Utrechtse Heuvelrug are firmly in the higher segment. Check the current supply and most recent figures at the top of this page.
What you need to know before bidding on a corner house
- Check the property boundary carefully. Corner houses border public areas or multiple neighbours. The cadastral boundary does not always match the actual situation. Have this checked by a buying agent or notary.
- Ask about driveway rights and right of way. With corner houses, it is not uncommon for neighbours or the municipality to have a right of way over the side strip. This is stated in the deed but is not always spontaneously mentioned.
- Watch out for easements on older homes. In the village centres of Utrechtse Heuvelrug, many homes date from the 1950s to 1970s. Easements from that period are sometimes outdated but still legally valid.
- Side wall and maintenance. A corner house has more wall surface than a terraced house. Ask about the condition of the side wall, insulation, and any damp issues, especially with older construction.
- Parking on private property. In many village centres, parking pressure is low, but check whether the driveway or side plot is formally designated as a parking space. This is relevant for insurance and zoning plans.
- Respond quickly, but not thoughtlessly. The supply of corner houses is limited. Still, it pays to request the cadastral extract from the Land Registry before viewing. It takes little time and immediately provides clarity on boundaries and encumbrances.
- Use the free Buurtje.nl app for push notifications. As soon as a new corner house in Utrechtse Heuvelrug is listed, you will receive an immediate notification. The app is available for free via the App Store and Google Play.

Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet, friendly people, all amenities within 1 kilometre and nature around the corner. The bus to Utrecht, Wageningen or Veenendaal stops 4 times per hour 400 metres away. Great place to live.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a quiet neighbourhood. I live on the edge of Driebergen, on a street with almost only farms, and it's very quiet. Furthermore, the neighbourhood is not involved with each other and there is hardly any contact with the neighbours or the neighbourhood. I've been living here for 4 years now and I haven't managed to make any friends in Driebergen, which is a shame. Otherwise, it's clean and tidy, and there is never any rubbish or things on the street.
Auto-translated to English by AIBlissful on a dead-end road ending at a forest with a pond, it's peaceful living. Except for the nocturnal adventurers who sit on the bench. What do they do? Unfortunately, they throw their scavenged wrappers on the ground while there's a bin within two steps. Otherwise, great place to live.

Auto-translated to English by AII grew up here as a child, Driebergen will always have a place in my heart. Because there were (then fewer) children, my sister and I always went out exploring and discovered the nicest things together. Since Driebergen is located in a wooded area, there is a lot to discover. The village festivals are also getting better and better! Last year there was a Christmas market and it felt so cosy and connected. We live close to everything, nice and close to shops, forest, Utrecht, it's just a shame that few activities are organised for children. Driebergen also has no secondary schools, but that's not a problem. In recent years I have come to appreciate Driebergen more! Like learning more about the history of the village and the architecture, for example. What I also find interesting is that they now organise all sorts of things on Liberation Day so we can learn more about Driebergen. A very nice neighbourhood! As a child I always felt safe, in recent years a bit less so, especially in the evenings, because of loitering youths. As I said before, Driebergen is very green, in most streets you see shrubs, trees, flowers, plants everywhere, especially now in spring it makes me very happy!
Auto-translated to English by AIYou can make it as long as you want. It's a large park with a beautiful lake and well-maintained. If you want to go for a walk, this is a top choice!
