Well-Maintained Detached House with Character in Charming Helvoirt
Key Features
Upsides
- The southwest-facing garden receives ample sunlight throughout the day, making it an enjoyable outdoor space for relaxation and entertaining during warmer months.
- The property includes eleven solar panels, which help reduce energy costs and contribute to a more sustainable household.
- The location in Helvoirt offers a quiet village atmosphere with immediate access to nature areas such as the Loonse and Drunense Duinen National Park, while remaining well-connected to the larger cities of Vught, Tilburg, and s-Hertogenbosch.
- The spacious attached storage room of over seventeen square meters with electricity, running water, and a loft provides versatile additional space that can serve as a workshop, hobby room, or substantial storage area.
- The detached nature of the property ensures privacy from neighbors, a feature that is increasingly valued in residential properties.
Downsides
- With only three bedrooms, the property may feel limited for larger families who require more separate sleeping spaces.
- The energy label C indicates that while some insulation measures have been taken, there is room for further energy efficiency improvements which would require additional investment.
- The property dates from 1930, and despite being described as well-maintained, older homes of this age may have hidden maintenance issues or require updates to systems and finishes over time.
- The asking price of approximately four thousand nine hundred and fifty-nine euros per square meter is relatively high, which may limit the appeal for budget-conscious buyers.
- The natural ventilation system mentioned suggests the absence of mechanical ventilation, which could affect indoor air quality and comfort compared to more modern ventilation solutions.
Description
Located on Kerkstraat in the village of Helvoirt, this detached house from 1930 presents itself as a well-kept family home with a practical and pleasant layout. The property is situated in one of the older streets of this charming village, which is part of the municipality of Vught. The immediate surroundings offer a peaceful residential environment while still being conveniently close to the village center where daily amenities can be found.
The ground floor of the property welcomes visitors through an entrance hall that provides access to the meter cupboard, a separate toilet room, and the main living area. The living room has been thoughtfully divided into a dining section and a cozy sitting area. The sitting area features a gas fireplace set within a mantelpiece, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere during the colder months. Two French doors open from the living room to the rear garden, establishing a seamless connection between the indoor and outdoor living spaces. A solid oak hardwood floor has been installed throughout the living room, adding a touch of quality and warmth to the space. A door separates the living room from the kitchen, allowing for privacy when desired.
The modern kitchen is equipped with practical appliances including a sink, a five-burner gas stove with an extractor hood, a refrigerator, a freezer, and a dishwasher. Adjacent to the kitchen lies a practical utility room where the connections for laundry appliances are located. The central heating boiler is also positioned in this utility room. From the utility room, access can be gained to a sizable storage room measuring over seventeen square meters. This storage space is particularly notable as it features a loft, electrical connections, running water, and a separate door leading directly to the backyard. This configuration makes the storage area suitable for various purposes, whether as a workshop, hobby space, or simply for additional storage needs.
The first floor is reached via a staircase and features a landing that provides access to three bedrooms, the bathroom, and a pull-down staircase leading to the attic space. Two of the bedrooms are located at the front of the property and share a dormer window, which brings in additional natural light and creates extra headroom and floor space. The third bedroom is situated at the rear of the house and includes a built-in wardrobe, offering practical storage solutions for clothing and personal items. All bedrooms have been finished with laminate flooring for ease of maintenance.
The bathroom on this floor is generously proportioned and has been fully tiled. It includes a bathtub, a separate shower, a toilet, and a double vanity unit. The layout has been designed with practicality in mind, making it a functional space for daily use by the household.
The outdoor space of the property is a notable feature. The rear garden faces southwest, which means it benefits from sunlight for a large part of the day, particularly during the afternoon and evening hours. The garden has been arranged with a terrace area equipped with a wide sun awning, providing shade when needed. Additionally, there is a covered seating area or pergola, a lawn, an outdoor water tap, and a practical back passage. The dimensions of the backyard are approximately fourteen and a half meters deep and nine and a third meters wide, resulting in a total garden area of one hundred and eighteen square meters.
Parking is available on the property itself via a driveway that leads to the back passage, where there is sufficient space to park a vehicle. Public parking is also available in the vicinity.
In terms of sustainability, the property has been fitted with eleven solar panels, which contribute to reduced energy costs and a smaller carbon footprint. The energy label is rated C, and the property benefits from roof insulation, double glazing, and wall insulation. Heating and hot water are provided by a gas-fired combination boiler that is owned by the property owner.
The location of Helvoirt offers a balanced lifestyle combining village charm with accessibility to larger urban centers. The village itself provides essential amenities including shops, schools, sports clubs, and dining establishments within a short distance. The surrounding area is characterized by green spaces and natural areas. The Loonse and Drunense Duinen National Park and the Helvoirts Broek nature reserve are within easy reach, offering opportunities for walking, cycling, and enjoying the outdoors.
For those who need to commute or prefer access to city amenities, the nearby towns of Vught, Tilburg, and s-Hertogenbosch are all readily accessible from this location. This combination of a quiet residential setting with good connections to urban centers makes the property suitable for a range of potential buyers, from families with children to individuals seeking a peaceful home base with convenient access to work and leisure facilities.
The property has a total living area of approximately one hundred and forty-six square meters, with an additional thirty-seven square meters of other indoor space. The volume of the building is approximately six hundred and seventy-nine cubic meters, and the plot covers two hundred and ninety-two square meters.
