About the place

A charming detached cottage of approximately 40 m², situated in the garden of De Westhof, a former shipyard dating back to 1654 in the heart of Zoeterwoude-Dorp. The property enjoys an excellent location close to Leiden and the A4 motorway, with easy access to The Hague and Amsterdam.

The owners live in the historic main building on the same property together with Fritz, their Standard Poodle. For this reason, the cottage is exclusively available to a tenant who has their own dog. A good match between the dogs is an absolute requirement. Both the tenant and their dog are welcome to enjoy the shared outdoor spaces surrounding the cottage and the main house. We are looking for someone who would enjoy being part of a small, dog-friendly living environment, where care for the dogs is shared by mutual agreement during the owners’ absences. For this reason, the rent has been intentionally kept at an attractive level.

The cottage is offered fully furnished. The rent includes water and electricity but excludes gas. The minimum rental period is 12 months. The security deposit is €925.

This is a unique opportunity for dog lovers who would like to live in a green and historic setting while remaining within easy reach of Leiden, The Hague, and Amsterdam.
