A big, characterful, draughty house, and the rent reflects all four of those things. 218 m² to rent in Woensel, five bedrooms, garden behind, built 1906. The original detail is largely intact: stairwell, doors, mouldings on the first floor. Two bathrooms. Label D. Unfurnished, twelve-month minimum. Suits a large household; the High Tech Campus is twenty minutes by car.

• 123 m² living
• 142 m² plot
• 3 beds

Built in 1982 on an older plot, so the proportions are generous and the maintenance is modern — a combination that does not come up often on this street. Three bedrooms, 123 m², garden behind, label C. The bathroom count is not on file; there is a family bathroom upstairs and a WC below. The Oosterpoort is a ten-minute walk from the station and about the same from the Grote Markt.

• 224 m² living
• 239 m² plot
• 5 beds
• 8 rooms
• D energy

One of the better-preserved houses on the street — the stairwell, the stained glass above the front door and most of the original doors are all still there, and the previous owners resisted the temptation to open everything up. 224 m², five bedrooms, two bathrooms, garden behind, built 1904. Reception rooms on the first floor at full width. Label D, as you would expect. The roof and the rear elevation have been done; the front has not. Priced for a buyer who intends to finish the job.

• 4 rooms
• A energy

Completed last year, with a roof terrace, three bedrooms and parking below. 129 m², two bathrooms, label A, lift into the apartment.

Taken off the market last month, under offer. 214 m² over four floors on the Schoterweg, five bedrooms, garden behind, two bathrooms, built 1913.

• 2 beds
• 3 rooms
• C energy

Canal at the front, quiet at the back, and the market twice a week at the end of the street. 68 m², two bedrooms, one bathroom, 1932 building, label C. The balcony looks over the courtyard behind.

• 118 m²
• 3 beds
• 5 rooms
• C energy

A house on the Rapenburg — the grandest canal in the city, and the one the university has been looking at for four hundred years. 118 m² over three floors, three bedrooms, one bathroom, with a small garden behind. Built in 1972 behind an older facade, which is why the layout is more practical than the address would lead you to expect: square rooms, a proper staircase, and no unexpected level changes. Label C. The Hortus is at the end of the street and the station is a ten-minute walk.

• 115 m² living
• 150 m² plot
• 3 beds
• 5 rooms

Terraced house on the Bekkerstraat with a garden of 150 m², three bedrooms, 115 m² of living space. Built in 1975 and honest about it: square rooms, a decent hall, and a kitchen at the back that opens onto the garden. There is no energy label registered on file — the seller is arranging one and it will be available before viewings conclude. The roof was replaced in 2019.

• 1 bed
• 1 room
• A energy

Studio on the Oude Delft — the oldest canal in the country, and worth the detour even if you are not buying. 39 m², built 2023 behind a retained facade, label A. Under offer.
