Spacious Corner Home with Garden Room in Quiet Green Cul-de-sac
Key Features
Upsides
- The property is located in a quiet, car-free cul-de-sac with plenty of greenery and a playground directly opposite, making it ideal for families.
- The house offers a practical and spacious layout with four bedrooms, a garden room, a utility room, and a large backyard facing northeast.
- Several key technical upgrades have already been performed, including a new roof and insulation in 2008, a modern kitchen in 2010, and a renovated bathroom and CV combi boiler in 2012.
Downsides
- The listing explicitly states the property is a 'kluswoning' (fixer-upper), indicating that it requires renovation and modernization work.

- A small strip of land adjacent to the property is leased from the municipality for a yearly fee, rather than being fully owned.
Description
Located in the charming and historic village of Bakel, this property offers a unique opportunity for those seeking a peaceful and family-friendly living environment. Situated in a car-free cul-de-sac, the home is surrounded by ample greenery, providing a serene atmosphere for residents. The corner house, built in 1974, sits on a generous plot of 219 square meters and features a practical layout with a rear extension, private driveway, and a carport. This residence combines space and comfort with a pleasant living environment, making it an ideal choice for families or anyone looking for a quiet place to call home.
Upon arriving at the property, you will notice the spacious driveway and carport located next to the house, providing convenient off-street parking. The front garden has been laid out with a border featuring various plants and a paved path leading to the front door. Straight across from the house, there is a green area equipped with playground equipment, which is a fantastic feature for families with children. Access to the backyard is available through a lockable wooden gate from the driveway. It is worth noting that a small strip of land next to the plot is rented from the municipality for a nominal fee of 4.50 euros per year.
You enter the home through the hallway, which provides access to the meter cupboard, a cloakroom area, and the staircase to the first floor. A practical storage space under the stairs is accessible from the hall. The hallway also leads to the fully tiled toilet room, which is fitted with a wall-hung toilet and a fountain set. This space includes a transom window for natural ventilation. From the hall, you step into the kitchen, which was renovated in 2010. The kitchen features a straight layout with a contemporary look and includes a composite countertop with an integrated stainless steel sink unit. It is equipped with various drawers, a wall cabinet, and a separate high wall unit for extra storage. Built-in appliances include a 4-burner gas hob, an extractor fan, and a close-in boiler. The wall behind the worktop is tiled, and a window offers a view of the driveway. An open passageway connects the kitchen to the living room.
The living room is a spacious through-lounge with a large window at the front that frames the view of the quiet cul-de-sac. The room is easy to divide into a sitting and dining area. The finish includes a tiled floor, walls finished with granol or glass fiber wallpaper, and a beamed ceiling. The living room covers approximately 26 square meters. A door in the living room opens to the garden room, a lovely addition to the home. This sunroom, approximately 8 square meters in size, features a skylight and an aluminum sliding door that opens to the backyard. It has a tiled floor, clean masonry walls, and a beamed ceiling. This versatile space can serve as a playroom for children, a home office, or a relaxation spot. Also accessible from the kitchen is the utility room, located in the extension. Here you will find the connections for white goods, with the option to place a separate dishwasher. A back door in the utility room provides direct access to the garden.
The backyard faces northeast and is lushly planted with greenery. The garden paving includes a walking path and a spacious terrace, perfect for enjoying the outdoors. There is also a detached storage shed, built of masonry with a pent roof covered with corrugated sheets. The shed has electricity and an external door and offers about 11 square meters of storage space.
The first floor is reached via a fixed staircase. The landing provides access to three full bedrooms and the bathroom. Two of the bedrooms are approximately 12 square meters in size, and the third is about 8 square meters. All bedrooms feature laminate flooring, wallpapered walls, and wood slat ceilings. The two larger rooms both have built-in closets. The bathroom, modernized in 2012, is fully tiled and equipped with electric floor heating. It features a walk-in shower with a thermostat tap and hand shower, a wall-hung toilet, a fixed washbasin on a furniture unit with a mirror, and a designer radiator. A window provides natural light.
The second floor is accessible via another fixed staircase. On the landing, you will find the central heating combi boiler. Because there is a drain and water connection present here, it is possible to relocate the white goods to this floor with some modifications. There is a dormer window on the landing. The fourth bedroom is located on this floor and measures approximately 12 square meters. It has carpet flooring, wallpapered or paneled walls, and an MDF ceiling. This room includes a fixed washbasin, a dormer window, and a built-in closet.
In terms of technical details, the roof was renewed in 2008 with new tiles and insulated from the inside at that time. The cavity walls were also cleaned and re-grouted in 2008. The house has mostly single glazing in wooden frames, with double glazing in some places. The central heating combi boiler is a Nefit Topline from 2012. The property has a registered energy label D. The house is explicitly listed as a fixer-upper, meaning some modernization and renovation work may be required to meet contemporary standards. This allows the new owner to customize the home to their own taste and needs.
Bakel is a village with a rich history, having celebrated its 1300th anniversary in 2014, making it the oldest village in North Brabant. The location is excellent regarding accessibility, with quick routes to Deurne, Gemert, Helmond, and Eindhoven. The center of Bakel offers various amenities, including shops, two primary schools, a supermarket, cafes, and restaurants. The village also boasts an active club life and various sports facilities. This corner home on a beautiful corner plot in a child-friendly neighborhood with a playground in the street offers a solid foundation for comfortable living.

The 'tuinkamer' is described as having an 'aluminium schuifpui'. A sliding patio door (schuifpui) is a type of French door leading to the outside.
Ornamental Plasterwork
There is no mention of ceiling ornaments, cornices, or stucco work. The house is from 1974, a period when such features were not standard, and the interior is described with more common finishes like wallpaper and beams.
Interior Style
Scandinavian
The listing does not describe a Scandinavian interior design style. Key elements like light wood flooring, minimalist white walls, and modern form-meets-function furniture are absent. The floors are tiled, laminate, or carpeted, and ceilings have beams, which contradicts the typical clean, open aesthetic of Scandinavian design. While there is a skylight for light, the overall materials and dated modernizations (2010 kitchen) do not fit this style.
Modern
The listing mentions 'modernized' kitchen (2010) and bathroom (2012), and describes the kitchen as having a 'contemporary look' (eigentijdse uitstraling). However, the house is a 1974 build, has single glazing, wooden frames, and is described as a 'kluswoning' (fixer-upper). The modernization is dated (over 10 years old) and not comprehensive throughout the property.
Industrial
There are no industrial features described. The property lacks exposed brick, concrete floors, metal ductwork, or large open-plan warehouse-style spaces. It is a standard Dutch family home described as 'rustig' (quiet/cozy) with beamed ceilings and a garden.
Mediterranean
No Mediterranean features are present. There is no mention of terracotta, stucco, interior courtyards, or color palettes associated with this style. The location in Bakel, Netherlands, and the standard suburban description do not support this.
Classic
The property is a 1974 corner house (hoekwoning) which is a classic Dutch housing type. It features traditional elements like a beamed ceiling (balkenplafond), wooden window frames, and a garden. While the kitchen and bathroom were updated, the structure and many finishes align with a classic style.
