Charming Long-Fronted Farmhouse with B&B in Natural Surroundings

Situated in a unique location completely surrounded by greenery, this remarkable long-fronted farmhouse can be found on the Brakkensedijk in Vorstenbosch. The property was originally built around 1850 and has been extensively renovated in recent years to become a sustainable family home, supplemented with a well-appointed multifunctional B&B accommodation. The dwelling occupies a free position adjacent to the nature reserve known as De Bedafse Bergen.

The location offers excellent accessibility while maintaining a distinctly rural character. The farmhouse sits between the villages of Vorstenbosch, Uden, Veghel, and Heeswijk-Dinther, providing a central position within the region. The A50 motorway can be reached within minutes, and the centers of Uden and Veghel are approximately five kilometers away. The cities of Eindhoven, Den Bosch, and Nijmegen are all accessible within a thirty-minute drive.

Approaching the property via a forest path, one arrives at a beautifully landscaped garden filled with native plants, fruit trees, and wildflowers. The garden teems with wildlife including birds, bees, and other fauna, creating an immediate sense of tranquility upon arrival.

The ground floor entrance leads in two directions. To the left lies the B&B apartment, while to the right is the main hallway of the residence. The hallway features characteristic green-brown floor tiles that pair harmoniously with the modern green wall color. A large window with mullioned divisions provides pleasant natural light. The hallway also contains the fully updated meter cupboard, access to a toilet room, and a utility room.

The spacious living kitchen has a natural stone floor. The walls are partly smoothly plastered and partly finished with clean masonry work. Combined with the attractive beamed ceiling, these elements create an appealing rural atmosphere. The kitchen unit was installed in an L-shaped configuration in 2017 and is equipped with an oven, induction cooktop, extractor hood, and dishwasher.

Industrial sliding doors provide a smooth connection between the kitchen and the living room. The living room was expanded internally in 2017 and measures approximately eighty square meters, making it a very generous space. French doors open to the rear garden, and a large window offers views of the front garden, ensuring excellent natural light throughout the day. The floor is finished with a wood-look PVC flooring that includes underfloor heating powered by a heat pump. A wood stove is present in the sitting area. There is ample space for a dining table suitable for large gatherings, and a dedicated home workspace has been created. A side door provides easy access to the front garden.

The first floor is reached via the hallway and contains five bedrooms, two bathrooms, and substantial storage space. The landing features ten built-in cupboards. Three bedrooms are located in the right section of the farmhouse, where the floors are finished with carpeting. The walls are neatly finished, and storage cabinets are built in under the sloping roof sections, providing practical storage space behind the doors. The master bedroom has access to an en-suite bathroom equipped with a shower, double sink, and toilet.

The left section of the first floor has a wooden floor and contains two very spacious bedrooms along with a second bathroom. One of these bedrooms features a built-in closet wall and has a direct connection to the bathroom, which is fitted with a toilet, bathtub, shower, and sink. The first floor has Velux skylights with insect screens, and the front-facing windows also have sun blinds.

The independent B&B apartment on the ground floor was completed in 2025 and is highly suitable for bed and breakfast purposes. The current owners have obtained a permit from the municipality for this use. Alternative uses could include a care facility for family members or independent living space for older children still at home. The apartment has a PVC wood-look floor with underfloor heating and smoothly plastered walls. The kitchen unit is fully equipped with a refrigerator, compact dishwasher, and microwave. A separate induction cooktop with an extractor hood is also present. The bedroom is sufficiently large for a double bed and a wardrobe. The fully tiled bathroom adjoins the bedroom and contains a toilet, walk-in shower, and sink with a vanity unit.

The garden extends around the entire property and offers complete privacy. The resident is entirely surrounded by greenery and nature. An ecological garden designer has created various landscape-level differences throughout the garden, planted with shrubs and trees. A portion of the rear garden has been left to develop naturally, where deer, squirrels, and hares are regularly observed. A small pond provides a habitat for frogs, toads, and salamanders. A sauna is located at the rear of the garden for relaxation.

Two outbuildings are present on the property. One is suitable for parking a car or trailer, while the second has heavy electrical current connection and provides excellent space for pursuing hobbies. The garden also features a water well with a pump for irrigation, a greenhouse, rain barrels, and an infiltration crate for water management.

The property has been improved with various sustainable features. Twenty-eight solar panels are installed on the roof. A heat pump provides heating for part of the underfloor heating system. The energy label is rated B. Insulation includes mostly double glazing, wall insulation, and floor insulation. The heating system combines a CV boiler, electric heating, a wood stove, partial underfloor heating, and the heat pump. Hot water is provided by the CV boiler and an electric boiler that is rented. The ATAG gas-fired combination boiler was installed in 2025 and is owned by the property owner.

The main plot measures 4,980 square meters and includes the house and garden. A second plot of 3,920 square meters comprises the access road. The total living area is 299 square meters with an additional two square meters of other indoor space and eleven square meters of building-related outdoor space. External storage amounts to 100 square meters. The building volume is 1,092 cubic meters. The property has a fiber optic cable connection and natural ventilation.
