Voorschoten: a quiet municipality where corner houses are scarce
Voorschoten is nestled between Leiden and The Hague, but has its own character: green streets, relatively few new builds, and a stable, sought-after housing market. This makes corner houses in Voorschoten an attractive but limited category. Supply changes slowly, and those who don't act quickly miss their chance.
Corner houses here are spread across the entire municipality, from older 1950s neighbourhoods to quieter residential areas on the outskirts. They are suitable for families wanting extra outdoor space, but also for buyers looking to extend in the future. View all homes for sale in Voorschoten for the current overview.
What makes a corner house different from a terraced house
Buying a corner house is not the same as buying a terraced house. There are a few things specific to this type:
- Side wall and property boundary. With a corner house, the side wall often borders public space or an adjacent garden. Always check the cadastral boundaries. Sometimes the strip of land next to the house is not yours, even if it appears so.
- Extension and permits. Corner houses offer more expansion possibilities, but the rules for permit-free building are sometimes stricter for a corner position. Check with the municipality before making plans.
- Draught and noise. A corner house has more external walls. This means more heat loss if the insulation is not up to standard. Always have a structural survey carried out.
- Higher property value and heating costs. Due to the larger wall surface area, energy bills for older corner houses are structurally higher. Request the energy label and compare.
- Parking on own land. Many corner houses in Voorschoten have a driveway or garage possibility on the side. Handy, but check whether the driveway is formally permitted.
- Response speed. Corner houses in Voorschoten immediately attract many viewing requests. Set your search to push notifications via the free App Store or Google Play version of the Buurtje.nl app. You will receive an instant notification as soon as new listings appear, completely free.
Price level: what determines the value of a corner house in Voorschoten?
Corner houses in Voorschoten fall into the higher purchase segment. This is due to the location of the municipality itself, limited turnover, and the extra plot area that a corner house typically offers. Concrete prices change quickly. View the current picture in the overview at the top of this page.
Factors influencing the price of a specific corner house:
- The construction period (1950s versus 1990s versus new build)
- Energy label and condition of insulation
- Presence of a driveway, garage or conservatory
- Location relative to main roads or green spaces
- Whether the side strip of land is cadastral property of the house
Financial point of attention: banks look strictly at the ratio of loan amount to value for small homes. This is less of an issue with corner houses, but ensure you hire a valuer who correctly takes the plot size into account.

Is parking an advantage with an end-of-terrace house in Voorschoten?

The municipality is closing more and more play areas for children, which I think is very bad.
