Key Features
Description
Located in the heart of Someren-Eind, this new semi-detached home at Haspelstraat 8 represents an opportunity to purchase a modern property in a central village location. The dwelling is part of the Het Vonderhof development project, which will be constructed by BAN Bouw starting in the fourth quarter of 2026. This project replaces the former hospitality venue De Platte Vonder and comprises an apartment complex with 21 units, a cluster of six starter homes, and four semi-detached houses. Haspelstraat 8 is designated as construction number B.02.
The property is offered at a purchase price of 599,125 euros vrij op naam, meaning the buyer is not responsible for transfer tax or notary costs associated with the property transfer. This is a significant financial consideration when calculating the total investment required.
The residence offers a living area of 126 square metres distributed across two full residential floors and an attic level. Additionally, there is 11 square metres of internal other space and 5 square metres of external storage. The total volume of the home is 520 cubic metres.
Upon entering the property, one finds a hallway containing a toilet room equipped with a wall-hung toilet and a small sink, the electrical metre cupboard, and the staircase leading to the upper floor. The living room measures approximately 3.93 by 8.46 metres, providing ample space for both a seating area and a dining area. Adjacent to the living room is an open kitchen area with a designated space for kitchen installation. It should be noted that the kitchen itself is not included in the purchase price, allowing the future owner to select and install a kitchen according to personal preferences and budget.
The first floor contains three bedrooms and a bathroom. The first bedroom measures approximately 2.93 by 3.15 metres. The second bedroom is larger at approximately 3.48 by 4.46 metres. The third bedroom on this level measures approximately 3.48 by 3.90 metres. The bathroom on this floor is fitted with a shower, a toilet, and a washbasin.
A fixed staircase leads to the second floor, where a landing area provides access to a technical room housing the heat pump and the heat recovery ventilation installation. This technical space and the landing together measure 11 square metres and are classified as other internal space. Also located on this floor is a full fourth bedroom measuring approximately 3.78 by 4.11 metres, featuring a skylight and qualifying as living area in terms of surface area calculation.
The property has been designed to meet current energy efficiency standards, evidenced by the A+++ energy label. The home will be constructed as a gasless building, with heating provided through a heat pump system combined with underfloor heating throughout the entire property. Solar panels will be installed in sufficient quantity to comply with the BENG (Nearly Energy Neutral Building) requirements that apply to new construction in the Netherlands.
The outdoor space includes a front garden and a rear garden. The rear garden measures 80 square metres, with a depth of 7.80 metres and a width of 10.30 metres, oriented towards the east. A rear access path can be realised, providing alternative access to the property. A detached wooden storage shed with electrical connections is included in the offering. Parking is available on the property's own grounds.
The roof construction consists of a gable roof covered with tiles, which is a traditional and durable roofing solution common in Dutch residential construction.
Someren-Eind is a village centre within the municipality of Someren, which has a population of over 20,000 inhabitants. The local area offers a high level of amenities, including multiple supermarkets and varied hospitality establishments. For recreational purposes, residents can access the Strabrechtse Heide nature reserve, the Groote Peel area, and various forest regions. Golf enthusiasts will find the 27-hole golf course De Swinkelsche in the vicinity. The area also offers extensive networks for horseback riding, cycling, and walking.
The property is located in a residential neighbourhood setting, providing a typical Dutch living environment. The central location within Someren-Eind means that daily necessities are within easy reach, whether on foot, by bicycle, or by car.
It is important to note that the images accompanying this listing are artist impressions and do not represent the final appearance of the property. No rights can be derived from these visualisations.
The acceptance date and terms are to be agreed upon, providing flexibility for both the seller and the prospective buyer. The property status is currently listed as available.
Given the construction timeline with building commencing in the fourth quarter of 2026, prospective buyers should consider the period between purchase agreement signing and actual completion. This extended timeframe allows for potential customisation discussions with the builder but also requires patience before the home can be occupied.
The asking price per square metre of living area is approximately 4,755 euros, which provides a reference point for comparing this property with other available homes in the region and of similar specification.
This development by BAN Bouw represents the transformation of a former hospitality site into a residential area, contributing to the densification of the village centre while maintaining a human scale through the mix of apartment buildings, starter homes, and semi-detached houses. The variety of dwelling types within Het Vonderhof creates a diverse community rather than a monotonous housing estate.
The semi-detached nature of the property means it shares one wall with an adjacent home while having free-standing walls on the other sides. This construction type typically offers a balance between the lower cost compared to fully detached homes and the reduced noise transmission compared to terraced housing. The property will share its party wall with the neighbouring semi-detached home at Haspelstraat 6a, which is also part of the same development.
The plot size for Haspelstraat 8 is approximately 186 square metres. This provides space for the house footprint, the front and rear gardens, and the parking area on the property. Comparing this to the other semi-detached homes in the development, Haspelstraat 6 offers a slightly larger plot of approximately 215 square metres at a higher price point, while Haspelstraat 6a has a plot of approximately 193 square metres.
The inclusion of a mechanical ventilation system with heat recovery is a standard feature in modern energy-efficient homes. This system extracts stale air from the kitchen, bathroom, and toilet while simultaneously supplying fresh air to the living areas and bedrooms. The heat exchange process recovers thermal energy from the outgoing air to pre-heat the incoming fresh air, reducing the energy required to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures.
The heat pump system works by extracting thermal energy from the outdoor air or ground and transferring it to the indoor heating system. In combination with the underfloor heating, this provides an even distribution of warmth throughout the home without the need for radiators. The absence of radiators can create a cleaner aesthetic and provides more flexibility in furniture placement.
The BENG norm that the solar panel installation must satisfy stands for Nearly Energy Neutral Buildings. This standard requires new buildings to demonstrate very low energy consumption through a combination of good insulation, efficient installations, and renewable energy generation. Achieving A+++ energy label status indicates that this property exceeds the minimum requirements and represents best practice in residential energy efficiency.
For buyers considering the financial aspects, the vrij op naam pricing structure eliminates two significant costs typically associated with property purchases in the Netherlands. Transfer tax, which is normally 2 percent for non-first-time buyers or exempt for first-time buyers under certain conditions, is included in the seller's costs. Similarly, the notary fees for drafting and executing the transfer deed are the responsibility of the developer rather than the purchaser. Buyers should still budget for notary costs related to the mortgage deed if financing is required, as this remains the buyer's responsibility.
The five-room classification with four bedrooms positions this property firmly in the family home category, suitable for households with children or those requiring home office space. The relatively generous room dimensions on the first floor provide flexibility in how these spaces can be used, whether as children's bedrooms, guest rooms, or work-from-home offices.
