Description
This detached property is located at Kattenbos 8 in the municipality of Reusel, situated in a quiet and green residential area. The house was originally built in 1967 and offers a total living area of 126 square meters, with additional inpandige space of 23 square meters and a gebouwgebonden buitenruimte of 12 square meters. The total plot measures 634 square meters, providing ample outdoor space for various purposes.
The property is accessed via a fully paved driveway and pathway leading to the front door. Upon entering, you are welcomed into a surprisingly spacious entrance hall that serves as the central hub of the ground floor. This hall provides access to the meter cupboard, a bedroom, the staircase to the first floor, and the kitchen. The hallway offers sufficient space to create a custom wardrobe or storage solution for coats, shoes, and other items.
The kitchen is generously proportioned and practically laid out, making it an enjoyable space for cooking. A large window provides a pleasant view of the back garden. The kitchen is presented in a condition that lends itself well to a future renovation, allowing the new owner to create their ideal culinary space according to personal preferences.
The living room is a bright and welcoming space characterized by large windows on two sides, which ensure abundant natural light throughout the day. The room feels spacious and offers numerous possibilities for arranging a comfortable seating area. The neutral finish allows for various interior styles, whether modern, rural, or something in between.
At the front of the ground floor, there is an additional spacious bedroom with multiple windows. This room could alternatively serve as a home office or hobby room, depending on the needs of the future residents.
From the kitchen, a corridor leads to the utility room, the boiler room, and the wet areas including a bathroom and a separate toilet. The first bathroom is neutrally tiled and equipped with a bathtub, a sink cabinet, and a connection for the washing machine. The toilet room is half-tiled and features a toilet and a small sink.
The utility room is a highly practical space that can also serve as a secondary entrance to the home, accessible both from the carport and through large double doors to the back garden. This tiled room includes a fixed sink and provides access to the second bathroom at the rear and the integrated garage.
The second bathroom is fully tiled in neutral tones and is generously proportioned. It features a walk-in shower, a bathtub, a toilet, and a sink cabinet, making it a complete and comfortable space.
The garage is spacious and includes an electric garage door and a sink. It is integrated into the main structure of the house, providing direct access to the utility room.
The first floor is reached via a fixed staircase from the entrance hall. Here you will find a spacious landing that gives access to four bedrooms, a storage room, a double built-in closet, and a separate toilet. All bedrooms have the same basic finish and can be completely arranged according to personal taste. Two bedrooms are located at the rear of the property and two at the front, offering flexibility in use.
The toilet on this floor is half-tiled and equipped with a toilet.
The outdoor space consists of a front garden and a back garden. The front garden features a deep driveway and a carport running along the side of the house. The back garden is fully enclosed and offers optimal privacy. It has been laid out in a largely low-maintenance manner with decorative paving and a strip of grass. At the rear, there is a sizeable wooden garden house, and on the left side stands a second garden house, ideal for storing bicycles and gardening equipment.
The property features a Nefit CV boiler from 2004 that is gas-fired and owned by the current owner. The windows are a mix, with the property having mostly double glazing and wall insulation, though some single glazing remains in the wooden window frames. The energy label is C. Natural ventilation is present in the home.
This property presents an opportunity for buyers who wish to live in a spacious detached home in a peaceful setting and are looking to put their own stamp on the interior. With five bedrooms in total, one on the ground floor and four on the first floor, along with two full bathrooms, the house is well suited for families with multiple children or for those who prioritize the convenience of ground floor living while having additional space upstairs. The combination of garage, carport, and two garden houses provides ample storage and parking options.
