We are completely surprised by the beautiful farmhouse we see before us and the greenery and space around us. And all of this is in the middle of a residential area.Upon entering, we are struck by a sense of nostalgia and can imagine how the residents lived here over 170 years ago. The house was renovated, restored, and insulated starting in 1995.In the hallway, there is a meter cupboard, a staircase cupboard, a toilet room (with toilet and sink), and the staircase leading to the first floor. From the hallway, we can turn right to the living area of the house or left to the bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor.From the hallway, we enter the living area, which consists of a spacious dining area where you can enjoy drinks or meals with friends and family, and a raised seating area. A sense of spaciousness dominates the living room, not only because of its actual size but also due to the high ceiling. The wooden beams, paneling, and wood stove create a cozy atmosphere. Additionally, the room offers a beautiful view of the large garden, which can be accessed from the seating area via a few steps down and through double doors.Cooking Delight in This KitchenFrom the dining area, we enter the kitchen, which is located at the rear of the house. It is incredibly spacious, allowing the hobby chef to fully indulge their passion.The kitchen is equipped with upper and lower cabinets and drawers, a 5-burner Boretti gas stove with a griddle, double oven, extractor hood, refrigerator, freezer, dishwasher at a convenient height, built-in coffee machine, close-in boiler, double sink, and a granite countertop. To use the word ‘nostalgia’ again: the existing range is truly antique, but it is still in use. The peninsula offers extra workspace and storage. You can also read the morning paper here with a cup of coffee at the bar.Bedroom and Bathroom on the Ground FloorFrom the kitchen, we return to the aforementioned hallway, which provides access to the bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor. The bedroom is very spacious, with a beautiful beamed ceiling and views of the lovely back garden.The large bathroom features a freestanding bathtub, a shower (with rain and handheld shower and thermostat), a double sink, and underfloor heating.Large Bedrooms on the First FloorWe go upstairs from the hallway via the staircase. We arrive at the landing, which provides access to four large bedrooms and the bathroom.All bedrooms are particularly charming, thanks to the old beams and trusses. In addition, it’s wonderful to wake up to the beautiful view of the garden surrounding the house.The bedroom at the front of the house is particularly spacious and has two Velux skylights. The large bedroom at the rear features a dormer.The bathroom has a shower (with handheld shower and thermostat), a sink, and a floating toilet.Open Attic on the Second FloorThe second floor is a large open space that was used as a play attic for the children. The wooden beams and trusses take us back in time. You can relax in the existing sauna after a busy workday.This floor also houses the central heating combi boiler (Intergas, 2020).Office/Multifunctional SpaceFrom the kitchen, we enter a utility room that leads down a few steps to the office space. In this utility room, there is a door leading outside. This room also houses the connections for the laundry equipment, the central heating boiler for the office space, and there is ample space for storage.The office space is neatly finished, with doors at both the front and rear, providing access to the outside. The old arched windows add extra character to the space. There is a hallway, an open (office) space, a lockable work/bedroom, a kitchen, a toilet room, a storage room (with meter cupboard), and a bathroom (with shower and double sink with cabinet).A home business is perfectly possible here, but you can also use this space as a second living space or care home. This space is completely independent, with a separate entrance, central heating boiler, alarm, and key system.A staircase leads to the surprising upper floor, which is currently used as storage with a closed hobby room. This floor is incredibly large, and the wooden beams and trusses once again provide a nostalgic feeling. There is another staircase leading to an extra open space with a mezzanine. Here you can potentially create additional bedrooms and connect them to the living area through a breakthrough. This floor also houses the boiler.Shed/GarageThis property includes a large wooden shed/garage (formerly the ‘carriage house’) with a thatched roof. The shed has double doors at the front, allowing easy access for cars. There is also a charging station available. The shed is equipped with electricity and houses the irrigation system. You can also use part of this shed as a hobby space.Beautiful Garden Surrounding the PropertyThe beautiful garden surrounds the house. The garden offers a lot of privacy, with multiple terraces and a gazebo, allowing you to enjoy either sun or shade at any time. Additionally, there is a large lawn, mature vegetation including beautiful fruit trees, an irrigation system, a pond, a vegetable garden, a chicken coop, wood storage, and a spacious animal enclosure. A gate allows you to access Hoge Neerstraat from the side garden.The highlight of the garden is the large swimming pool (approx. 14 x 7 m) with an electrically operated solar cover. After an afternoon of swimming, you can relax on the adjacent terrace with a refreshing drink or something delicious prepared on the barbecue in the outdoor kitchen. Background music plays through the sound system installed in the garden.You can also unwind in the jacuzzi and then relax in the pool house with the wood stove on. Here, you’ll also find a kitchenette, toilet, and a space for the pool’s equipment.In short, this is a wonderful garden to spend many hours in!DrivewayThe spacious driveway offers parking for multiple cars on private (enclosed) grounds.General•

The area was built in the mid-90s around Hoge Neerstraat, with a focus on sports and recreation: Etten-Leur's hockey club and korfball association are based here, and local teams DSE and Internos play football here. The street names in this neighborhood, such as Marathon de Tienkamp or Regatta, are linked to sports or the farmhouse style that is reflected in the architecture of part of this neighborhood (Carriage House, Bakehouse, and Flemish Barn). A defining landmark of the neighborhood is, of course, the Trivium building, which forms the entrance to Etten-Leur. The Fletcher Hotel is among the establishments located there. On the other side of this neighborhood, within walking distance from the house—officially just within the Banakkers neighborhood—lies the KSE School Community, offering secondary education from junior vocational education (mavo) to pre-university education (gymnasium). Additionally, the Banakkers swimming pool is located there.The neighborhood is easily accessible, both by public transport and by car. With excellent access roads, you can be on the highway to Breda, Roosendaal, or Antwerp in no time. Hoge Neerstraat is a friendly neighborhood where you’ll enjoy living!Living in Etten-LeurNo matter where you choose to live in Etten-Leur, daily amenities are always within reach.

The buyer acknowledges that there may be asbestos-containing materials present. The buyer is aware that if asbestos-containing materials are removed, special measures must be taken under environmental legislation and indemnifies the seller from all liability that may arise from the presence of and/or the removal of any asbestos from the property.Age ClauseAn age clause will be included in the purchase agreement for this property because the property is over 170 years old, meaning that the building quality standards may be significantly lower than those of new homes. The buyer cannot claim that this property deviates from current building regulations.NEN2580 Measurement InstructionThe Measurement Instruction is based on NEN2580. The Measurement Instruction is intended to apply a more uniform way of measuring to provide an indication of the usable floor area. The Measurement Instruction does not completely rule out differences in measurement results, for example, due to differences in interpretation, rounding, or limitations when performing the measurement. The principle remains, “what you see is what you buy,” and the object information is of lower priority.Legally Binding Purchase Agreement Only After SigningAn oral agreement between the private seller and the private buyer is not legally binding. This means that a legally binding purchase only exists once the private seller and the private buyer have signed the purchase agreement. This follows from Article 7:2 of the Dutch Civil Code. A confirmation of the oral agreement via email or a sent draft of the purchase agreement is also not considered a legally binding agreement.Deposit or Bank GuaranteeSince Agnes Tomesen Makelaardij is affiliated with the NVM, the model purchase agreement established by the NVM, VBO, the Consumer Association, and the Homeowners Association is used. In this purchase agreement, it is standard practice to include that a deposit or bank guarantee of 10% of the purchase price must be provided.Sales DocumentationThis documentation has been carefully compiled by us, but for the accuracy of the information provided, we generally depend heavily on third parties.
