Spacious Detached Family Home with Serre and Nature Views in Berlicum
Key Features
Upsides
- The property has an energy label A rating, achieved through a heat pump, solar panels, HR++ glass, and comprehensive insulation on the roof, walls, and floor, which contributes to lower energy costs and future readiness.
- The southeast-facing backyard offers sunlight throughout the day and features an irrigation system, a covered terrace, and a direct view of an adjacent meadow with grazing sheep, creating a peaceful and rural atmosphere.
- The property includes multiple practical outdoor structures: a carport, an indoor garage that doubles as a utility room with laundry connections and extra refrigeration, and a detached wooden storage shed.
- Parking capacity is generous, with a driveway for two cars, additional side parking, and the specific possibility to park or charge a camper vehicle.
- The location combines quiet, edge-of-village living next to a protected nature reserve with convenient access to the city center of 's-Hertogenbosch.
Downsides
- With a plot size of 328 square meters, the garden area is relatively modest for a detached property, which may feel limited for families seeking extensive outdoor space.
- The property has only one bathroom to serve four bedrooms, which could create practical inconveniences for larger families or households with multiple occupants.
- The kitchen is separate from the living room rather than open-plan, which may not align with current preferences for integrated living and cooking spaces.
- The building dates from 1980, and despite energy upgrades, the original construction is over four decades old, which may involve maintenance considerations typical of properties of this age.
- At 4,441 euros per square meter, the price per square meter is relatively high for a 1980s detached home in a village location outside a major city.
Description
This detached family residence is situated on the edge of Berlicum, a pleasant village located in close proximity to the city of 's-Hertogenbosch. The property offers a combination of space, comfort, and a peaceful setting that appeals to families seeking a quiet residential environment without being isolated from urban amenities.
The ground floor of the property welcomes you with an entrance hall that provides access to a toilet room, a storage closet, and an open staircase leading to the upper levels. The through living room is notably bright, thanks to its orientation and design, and features a heated tile floor as well as a gas fireplace that creates a warm atmosphere during the colder months. This living area serves as a central gathering space for household members throughout the year.
Adjacent to the living room, the kitchen is arranged in an L-shaped layout and is equipped with a natural stone worktop and various built-in appliances. The dimensions of the kitchen are generous enough to accommodate a second dining table, offering flexibility in how the space is used. Both the living room and the kitchen provide access to the serre, which is a sunlit space fitted with French doors and automatic sun blinds. This addition extends the living area and allows residents to enjoy natural light during the spring and autumn seasons.
Connected to the kitchen area is a spacious garage that also functions as a utility room. This space contains connections for a washing machine and dryer, an additional refrigerator and freezer, a sink with a separate hot water boiler, and a practical storage attic above. This arrangement keeps household utilities organized and separate from the main living areas.
The first floor accommodates three sizable bedrooms, each fitted with built-in wardrobes and washbasins, which adds convenience for daily routines. The bathroom on this level is fully equipped with a bathtub, a wall-hung toilet, a washbasin vanity unit, a heated towel rail, and a window that allows for natural ventilation. These features make the bathroom functional and comfortable for a family household.
A fixed staircase leads to the second floor, where a spacious landing provides access to an additional room. This space is versatile and can serve as a home office, a hobby room, or a guest bedroom, depending on the needs of the current occupants.
The outdoor areas of the property are a notable feature. The backyard faces southeast, ensuring sunlight throughout the day, and offers ample space for outdoor seating and barbecue activities. Both the front and back gardens are equipped with an irrigation system, which helps maintain the greenery with minimal effort. A covered terrace provides a shaded spot during warm summer days. From the garden, residents have a view of an adjacent meadow where sheep graze, contributing to the rural and tranquil character of the location.
Parking is well catered for, with a private driveway that has space for two vehicles, additional parking on the side of the property, and the possibility to park or charge a camper, either on the side or in the backyard. The property also includes a carport and an attached garage with capacity for one car.
In terms of energy efficiency and sustainability, the property has been upgraded with several modern installations. Air conditioning is installed on the entire upper floor, providing comfort during warmer periods. Solar panels are present on the roof, contributing to reduced energy costs. The windows are fitted with HR++ glass, and the property has insulation on the roof, walls, and floor. A heat pump serves as the primary heating system. These measures result in an energy label A, indicating that the property meets current standards for energy efficiency and is prepared for future energy requirements.
The location in Berlicum offers a balance between rural living and accessibility. The property is positioned at the edge of a residential area, directly adjacent to a protected nature reserve, which guarantees a green and quiet immediate environment. At the same time, the center of 's-Hertogenbosch is within a short distance, providing access to a wider range of shops, restaurants, cultural facilities, and transport connections.
With a total living area of 152 square meters, additional indoor space of 47 square meters, and an outdoor attached space of 32 square meters, the property provides substantial room for a family. The plot covers 328 square meters, which includes front, side, and back gardens as well as a detached wooden storage shed. The building dates from 1980 and features a gabled roof covered with tiles, which is typical for the construction period and the region.
The property is offered at a price of 675,000 euros, to be paid by the buyer (kosten koper), which translates to approximately 4,441 euros per square meter of living space. The cadastral designation is BERLICUM L 1099, and the property is held in full ownership. The acceptance date is to be negotiated, allowing for flexibility in the transition process.
