Renovated Semi-Detached Home with Solar Panels and Southeast-Facing Garden in Mierlo
Key Features
Upsides
- 11 solar panels providing energy savings and reduced carbon footprint
- Recent upgrades including 2022 kitchen appliances and 2023 Vaillant combi boiler, reducing near-term maintenance costs
- Excellent location near nature with Strabrechtse Heide, forests, and walking areas while still close to shops and schools
- Southeast-facing garden of 96 square meters with rear access, providing good sunlight exposure
- Good insulation throughout with floor, cavity wall, and roof insulation plus HR++ glazing on ground floor
Downsides
- Relatively small living area of 83 square meters for a semi-detached house at this price point
- Third bedroom is only 7 square meters, which is quite small and may only be suitable as a nursery or study
- Attic access is via a loft ladder rather than a fixed staircase, limiting easy use of the storage space
- Built in 1985 with the main renovation dating from 2002, meaning some elements are now over 20 years old

Description
The property is located in a quiet area in Mierlo, positioned along a park known as a plantsoen. This semi-detached house was built in 1985 and underwent significant renovations in 2002. The home is well-maintained and modernized, offering comfortable living spaces in a peaceful residential setting.
The surrounding area is one of the key attractions of this property. Mierlo is situated in the province of North Brabant and offers residents access to extensive forests and the beautiful Strabrechtse Heide nature reserve. For those who enjoy outdoor activities such as walking, cycling, or simply being in nature, this location provides excellent opportunities. The property is also conveniently located near shops for daily necessities, making it practical for everyday living. The neighborhood is described as child-friendly, with schools and playgrounds nearby, making it suitable for families with children.
Upon entering the home, you are welcomed by a hallway that houses the meter cupboard. The ground floor features a modern toilet that was installed in 2002. The living room is bright and measures approximately 25 square meters. It benefits from a new front window with HR++ double glazing, allowing plenty of natural light to enter. The living room has a parquet floor and includes a storage cupboard. Double patio doors with HR++ glass provide access to the garden, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living spaces.
The kitchen is partially open to the living room, measuring approximately 8 square meters. It features a beautiful marble floor and an attractive composite worktop. The kitchen was fully updated in 2002 with a luxury and complete setup. Recent updates in 2022 include a new induction cooktop, extractor hood, oven, and dishwasher. The kitchen also has a refrigerator integrated into a cabinet wall and a side window for additional light.
From the kitchen, a door leads to a spacious utility room of 6 square meters with a PVC floor. This room houses the Vaillant combi boiler, which was installed in 2023, ensuring reliable and efficient heating. The utility room has connections for a washing machine and a door leading to the garden. The utility room is partially open to the garage and storage area, which measures approximately 14 square meters and features a roller door. The total living area on the ground floor is approximately 33 square meters, featuring the attractive combination of parquet and marble flooring.
The first floor is accessed via a staircase and consists of a landing, three bedrooms, and a bathroom. The first bedroom measures approximately 12 square meters and has a dormer window. The second bedroom is approximately 8.5 square meters and also features a dormer window. The third bedroom is smaller at 7 square meters and has a side window along with storage space. The bathroom on this floor has been renovated and includes a shower, a skylight, a fixed washbasin, a Velux skylight, and underfloor heating, providing a comfortable and modern bathing experience.
Access to the second floor is via a loft ladder, though there is the possibility to install a fixed staircase. The attic space serves as a pleasant and spacious storage attic with a skylight, offering additional storage capacity for the household.
The property has been well-insulated with floor insulation, cavity wall insulation, and roof insulation. All windows and doors throughout the home are made of plastic with tilt-and-turn functionality and double glazing. The ground floor windows are particularly efficient with HR++ glass. The exterior features Trespa fascia boards, which are known for their durability and low maintenance requirements.
A notable feature of this property is the installation of 11 solar panels, which contribute to reduced energy costs and a smaller carbon footprint. The property has an energy label B, reflecting its reasonable energy efficiency.
The garden is a significant asset, measuring 12 meters deep and 8.5 meters wide, facing southeast. This orientation ensures the garden receives plenty of sunlight throughout the day. The garden is paved and accessible via a rear path, providing convenient access without having to go through the house. At approximately 96 square meters, the garden offers ample space for outdoor seating, gardening, or children's play.
Parking is available on the property's own terrain, and the attached stone garage can accommodate one vehicle. This is a practical feature, especially in areas where street parking can be limited.
The property has a total volume of 370 cubic meters and a plot size of 204 square meters. The living area is 83 square meters, excluding the attic space. Additional indoor space includes the 14-square-meter garage and storage area, plus 5 square meters of external storage.
The asking price for this property is 439,000 euros, which translates to approximately 5,289 euros per square meter of living space. The property is offered with a cost-to-buyer arrangement, meaning the buyer is responsible for transfer taxes and notary fees. The transfer date is to be agreed upon.
The property is registered in the land registry as MIERLO F 5461 with full ownership.
Potential buyers should be aware of their obligation to conduct proper research before making an offer. The seller has disclosure obligations, but the buyer is expected to investigate all aspects important to their purchase decision. Documents available for inspection include the title deed, cadastral extract, and a property questionnaire completed by the seller.
For buyers considering this property, it is important to note the practical layout and the recent investments in the home. The kitchen appliances were updated in 2022, and the heating system was replaced in 2023, both significant expenses that the new owner will not need to incur in the near future. The 11 solar panels also represent a valuable addition that will provide ongoing energy savings.
The location in Mierlo offers a balance between tranquility and convenience. While the property is situated in a quiet area along a park, it remains accessible to shops and other daily necessities. The proximity to the Strabrechtse Heide and extensive forests makes this an attractive option for nature enthusiasts and those who value outdoor recreation opportunities.
The property is classified as a semi-detached house, which means it shares one wall with an adjacent property. This type of housing typically offers more privacy than terraced houses while being more affordable than fully detached homes.
The roof is a gable roof, a common and practical roof type in Dutch residential construction. The presence of dormer windows on two of the three bedrooms has increased the usable space and headroom in these rooms.
For families, the child-friendly nature of the location, with nearby schools and playgrounds, is an important consideration. The garden provides a safe outdoor space for children to play, and the quiet street location adds to the sense of safety and community.
