Charming Bungalow in Peaceful Woodland Setting with Large Private Garden

This detached bungalow is situated on a spacious plot of 1,555 square metres at the edge of a forested area in Putte. The property offers a combination of privacy, natural surroundings, and proximity to daily amenities. Built in 1958, the residence has been thoroughly renovated and modernised over recent years while retaining its characteristic bungalow layout with single level living and an additional attic space.

The living room is a bright and welcoming space featuring smoothly finished walls and a wood burning stove that adds warmth and atmosphere during the colder months. Large sliding doors connect the living area directly to the garden, creating a seamless transition between the interior and the outdoor environment. From the living room there is access to the kitchen as well as the hallway leading to the bedrooms, bathroom, and separate toilet.

The kitchen is generously proportioned and equipped with a practical arrangement of built in appliances. These include an induction hob, extractor hood, refrigerator, dishwasher, and oven. A window in the kitchen provides a pleasant view of the garden, allowing natural light to enter the space.

Adjacent to the kitchen is the former garage, which is currently being used as a utility room. This versatile space has connections for a washing machine and dryer and benefits from ample natural light thanks to wide sliding doors. The room could readily be converted back to a garage if desired, but also presents possibilities as a workspace, hobby room, or additional sleeping quarters. A door from this space leads directly to the covered terrace in the rear garden.

The property contains three bedrooms, all finished with laminate flooring, smooth walls, and electric roller shutters. These shutters provide both light control and additional insulation. The layout of the bedrooms on a single level contributes to the accessibility and convenience of the home.

The fully tiled bathroom has been renovated to a modern standard and features a vanity unit and a luxurious shower cabin equipped with both massage and steam functions. A separate toilet is located off the hallway, providing additional convenience for residents and guests.

The garden surrounding the property has been thoughtfully landscaped to complement the natural woodland setting while ensuring a high degree of privacy. The front garden includes a spacious driveway with mature planting that creates a green and sheltered entrance to the property. The rear garden is laid out with lawn, planted borders, and a wide variety of plants and shrubs that enhance the natural character of the setting.

From the former garage or utility room there is direct access to a covered terrace, providing a sheltered spot to enjoy the outdoors in various weather conditions. Towards the rear of the garden stands a wooden shed with an attached canopy, which is well suited for storing firewood, splitting logs, or drying laundry. Additionally, there is a large canopy structure or carport that can accommodate a camper van or caravan. This space also offers potential for creating an outdoor kitchen with an adjacent terrace area.

A significant number of renovations and improvements have been carried out on the property. The electrical fuse box was renewed in 2019 and includes three phase power with a high capacity connection. A hybrid central heating boiler was installed in 2019, contributing to the energy efficiency of the home. The bathroom was completely renovated with the luxury shower installation. The roof was renewed using shingles on both the main dwelling and the outbuilding. The exterior features Trespa cladding along with new gutters and drainage systems.

Insulation has been improved throughout the property, including the roof, attic space, walls, and the former garage. HR++ double glazing has been largely installed across the property. New laminate flooring with underlying insulation was laid, interior doors were replaced, and most window frames were renewed. A new stove with chimney was installed, the toilet was renovated, and the garage area received HR++ glazed sliding doors. Electric roller shutters have been fitted to nearly all windows. Ventilation grilles and cavity wall ventilation have also been added.

The property holds an energy label C, reflecting the improvements made to the insulation and heating systems. The side walls have been insulated from the interior, and the combination of HR++ glazing and electric roller shutters contributes to the overall thermal performance of the dwelling.

The location in Putte offers a green and tranquil living environment with excellent local facilities. The area provides a primary school, childcare facilities, sports grounds, a general practitioner, shops, and dining establishments. Local shops are open on Sundays, which adds to the convenience of the location. The proximity to the Moretusbos and the Kalmthoutse Heide nature reserve makes this property particularly appealing to those who appreciate outdoor recreation and natural landscapes.

The property is well connected to surrounding cities and transport infrastructure. Antwerp is approximately 20 kilometres away, and Bergen op Zoom is also around 20 kilometres distant. Brussels and Zaventem airport are accessible via Heide station, which is located about 6 kilometres from the property. Rotterdam can be reached in approximately 60 minutes via the A4 motorway.

The single level layout, recent renovations, and generous outdoor spaces make this property suitable for those seeking a comfortable and accessible home in a natural setting. The large plot offers considerable freedom and the various outbuildings provide practical storage and potential for further development according to the needs of future residents.
