Spacious detached family home with versatile annex and B&B potential in Olland

Located at Het Binneveld 22 in the peaceful village of Olland, part of the municipality of Sint-Oedenrode, this detached property offers a unique combination of space, tranquility, and versatility. The home is situated in a green and quiet street where the pace of life is relaxed, yet it remains surprisingly accessible to major cities like Eindhoven and s-Hertogenbosch. For those who enjoy the outdoors, the location is ideal as nature reserves such as the Dommeldal, the Geelders, and Het Groene Woud are literally right around the corner. This property stands out due to its adaptability, making it suitable for families, those seeking multigenerational living arrangements, or individuals looking for opportunities to run a Bed and Breakfast or rental studios.

The property features an impressive and versatile barn adjacent to the main house. This structure measures approximately 8 by 18 meters and is fully insulated and heated, making it usable throughout the year. The barn is currently arranged with two complete studios on the ground floor, each featuring its own kitchenette and bathroom facilities. This layout is perfectly suited for a guest accommodation business, provided the relevant regulations are followed. At the front of the barn, there is a spacious garage equipped with a high sectional door, which allows for the parking of a camper or a large commercial vehicle. The barn also boasts a first floor accessible via two fixed staircases, offering even more space for storage or other uses. The insulation in the barn is a significant feature, as it transforms what could have been a cold storage space into a year round usable environment.

The main residence itself offers a generous living area of 157 square meters. Upon entering the home, one finds a covered entrance leading to a hall with a toilet area, meter cupboard, and staircase to the first floor. The living room is spacious and features a central wood burning fireplace which adds to the cozy atmosphere. The floor is finished with natural stone tiles and the entire ground floor is equipped with underfloor heating for comfort. The dining area is bright and provides access through a sliding door to a terrace on the side of the house. Adjacent to the living room is a study room which, thanks to the presence of a bathroom on the ground floor, can easily serve as a bedroom. This makes the property highly suitable for age-friendly living or accommodating guests on the ground floor.

The kitchen is located at the rear of the house and benefits from abundant natural light due to the presence of skylights. It is fitted with a comprehensive range of built-in appliances including an induction cooktop, stainless steel extractor hood, oven, refrigerator, and sink. Next to the kitchen is a utility room which also houses the central heating boiler that provides heating for the ground floor. A second bathroom is also accessible from this area. The layout on the ground floor is practical and flow oriented, designed to cater to daily family life as well as more formal occasions.

The first floor of the main house is currently configured as a separate upper apartment. This unique arrangement offers significant possibilities, such as providing privacy for an older child living at home, space for a caretaker, or even a rental unit. The floor currently consists of a large room being used as a living area, connected to a second room that serves as a bedroom and includes a kitchenette with a gas stove and refrigerator. A third bedroom is accessible from this second bedroom and features access to a sunny balcony. While the current setup is as an apartment, the layout can be relatively easily reverted to a traditional configuration with three bedrooms and a central landing. To convert the first floor back to a standard family layout, the existing fixed staircase to the attic would need to be replaced by a loft ladder to open up the central hallway.

On the first floor, there is a second bathroom which is well appointed with a bathtub, shower faucet, washbasin, and a connection for a washing machine that is neatly concealed in a niche. A separate toilet is also located on the landing. The attic floor serves as a large storage space and contains the second central heating boiler which specifically serves the first floor, ensuring efficient heating management for the different sections of the property.

The garden and outdoor spaces are designed for enjoyment and low maintenance. The sunny backyard is beautifully landscaped and features a large terrace and several pond areas. Pergolas provide natural shade during the summer months, creating pleasant spots to sit and relax. In the garden, there is a large storage building that has been divided into five separate compartments, which is ideal for hobbyists who require separate workspaces or for general storage. There is also a separate shed that could potentially serve as a dog run. Furthermore, there is an option to create a driveway alongside the house to increase parking convenience.

In terms of technical specifications, the property was built in 1988 but has been modernized in key areas. It is equipped with 40 solar panels installed in 2017, contributing to energy efficiency. The window frames are made of low maintenance plastic and fitted with HR++ glazing. The insulation is comprehensive, including roof insulation, wall insulation, floor insulation, and double glazing. The property has an energy label C. The living space has a volume of approximately 640 cubic meters. The plot itself is 888 square meters, providing ample outdoor space.

The location in Olland offers a unique lifestyle. It is a church village with a strong sense of community, yet it is close to the vibrant economic centers of the region. The property is on a quiet street within walking distance of the primary school and the local community center De Loopr. For daily shopping and other amenities, the nearby town of Sint-Oedenrode provides all necessary services. The connectivity is excellent, with the A2 and A50 highways easily reachable, facilitating quick commutes to various parts of the Netherlands.
