Spacious Corner Home with Landscaped Garden in Green Setting

This spacious corner residence is situated on the sought after Hippocrateslaan in the Warande Oost district of Bergen op Zoom. The property is located on a generous plot of approximately 342 square meters and offers a high degree of privacy combined with a beautifully landscaped garden facing south. The home is positioned on a spacious residential courtyard, contributing to a pleasant and peaceful living environment.

The ground floor features an entrance hall with a vestibule and an alarm system for added security. The hallway provides access to the modern meter cupboard which contains seven circuit groups and three earth leakage switches. Below the ground floor there is a crawl space where the water softener is installed, helping to protect plumbing and appliances from limescale buildup. The tiled guest toilet is conveniently located near the entrance and is equipped with a wall hung toilet and a small basin.

The living room is a notable space featuring a gas fireplace that creates a warm and inviting atmosphere during the colder months. The floor is finished with tiles for easy maintenance. A side window fitted with a roller shutter adds to both comfort and security. Large windows on three sides of the room provide views of the green surroundings and ensure plenty of natural light enters the space throughout the day. From the living room, you can step directly out into the garden and onto the terrace, making indoor and outdoor living flow together seamlessly.

Adjacent to the living room is the half open kitchen arranged in a practical U shape that also accommodates a breakfast seating area. The kitchen is well equipped with a granite worktop featuring a one and a half sink, a hot water boiler for immediate hot water at the tap, a gas hob with an extractor hood above, a fridge freezer combination, a microwave, an electric oven, and a dishwasher. The ceiling features recessed spotlights that provide good task lighting, and the floor is tiled to match the living room. Like the living room, the kitchen also provides direct access to the garden through a door leading to the terrace.

The first floor is reached via a fixed staircase and comprises a landing with a storage cupboard and access to the staircase leading to the second floor. There are three comfortable bedrooms on this level, all finished with laminate flooring. The bedroom at the front of the property has the added convenience of a washbasin. The bathroom on this floor is well appointed and fully tiled, featuring a whirlpool bath that also functions as a shower, electric underfloor heating for comfort, a second toilet, a washbasin, and a designer radiator that adds both warmth and a modern touch to the space.

The second floor is accessed via the fixed staircase from the first floor landing and features a landing area with a skylight providing natural light. There is a utility room on this level that houses the HR combination boiler, has connections for a washing machine and tumble dryer, and offers the possibility to create a second bathroom if desired. The fourth bedroom on this floor is a spacious room with built in storage cupboards incorporated into the sloping roof sections. This bedroom benefits from a skylight at the rear and a side window in the gable end, ensuring good natural light and ventilation. Both the bedroom and the landing on this floor have laminate flooring.

The garden is undoubtedly one of the outstanding features of this property. It was professionally designed by a garden architect in 2015 and offers a thoughtful mix of sunny spots and shaded areas that can be enjoyed throughout the day. The garden includes well maintained green borders with varied plantings, a pond feature that adds visual interest, three terraces at different levels that provide options for dining, relaxing, or entertaining, and a high degree of privacy from neighboring properties. The garden lighting operates on a timer system for convenience, and there is a practical drip irrigation system installed to ensure the plants remain well watered with minimal effort from the owner.

At the rear of the garden stands a masonry storage shed that provides secure storage for bicycles and garden equipment. The shed is equipped with electricity and houses the controls for the garden lighting system. The roof of the shed has a bituminous covering that was installed in 2017. There is a side exit from the garden and a rear access path that provides an alternative route to the property without having to go through the front entrance.

The front garden is neatly laid out with planted borders and a clear path leading to the front door. A gate provides access from the front garden to the side garden and terrace area.

The property was originally built in 1971 using traditional construction methods with cavity walls in brick. The ground floor and upper floors are constructed from concrete, providing solid and stable floor structures. The roof is a pitched roof covered with clay tiles. The exterior paintwork and gutters were completely renewed in 2024, ensuring the property presents well from the outside.

In terms of insulation, the property has cavity wall insulation, partial roof insulation, and insulating glazing throughout, resulting in an energy label C. The heating is provided by a Remeha HR combination boiler from 2021 which is located on the second floor and is owned by the current owner. This boiler is already prepared for future extension to a hybrid heating system, offering potential for further energy efficiency improvements. Additional heating is provided by electric underfloor heating in parts of the living room and in the bathroom.

The location of the property is particularly convenient for daily needs. The Zonneplein shopping center, sports facilities at Sportpark Rozenoord, and the De Poort medical center are all within a five minute bike ride. The city center of Bergen op Zoom and most secondary schools in the area can be reached within fifteen minutes by bicycle.

For those requiring additional parking or storage space, there is an optional garage box available for purchase separately. This garage is located directly around the corner on Paracelsuslaan and is offered at a price of 25,000 euros buyer costs. The garage has a light manual sectional door installed in 2023 and a bituminous roof covering also from 2023, indicating recent investment in this structure.

The property offers various possibilities for future expansion or modification. Subject to obtaining the relevant permits, the home could potentially be extended to increase the living space. The masonry shed at the rear of the garden could also be enlarged or converted into a multifunctional space such as a home office or studio, with part of this work potentially being possible without requiring planning permission.
