Key Features
Description
This spacious bungalow is located at Meidoornstraat 11 in the town of Nederweert, offering comfortable and accessible living on a generous plot measuring 701 square meters. The property was originally constructed in 1974 and has since been maintained and updated to provide a total living area of 180 square meters. This home is particularly well suited for families, seniors, or anyone who values ample space combined with the convenience of single-level living. The entire property has been designed with accessibility in mind, making it fully suitable for all stages of life.
Upon entering through the front door, you are welcomed into a spacious hallway that sets the tone for the rest of the home. The hallway provides direct access to the living room, the open-plan kitchen, all four bedrooms, and the bathroom. The sense of space and light is immediately apparent, creating an inviting atmosphere throughout. The residence comprises six rooms in total, including four generously proportioned bedrooms. Each bedroom offers flexibility in its use, adapting easily to your specific needs. Whether you require additional sleeping quarters, a dedicated home office, a creative hobby room, or comfortable guest accommodation, this property provides the versatility to accommodate your lifestyle.
The living room is remarkably spacious and forms the central hub of daily life. It connects seamlessly to a sunroom, which is a delightful addition to the home. This sunroom features underfloor heating, ensuring comfort throughout the year regardless of the season. Large windows frame views of the garden, allowing natural light to pour in and creating a warm and inviting space where you can relax and enjoy the outdoors from the comfort of indoors. The sunroom serves as a beautiful transition between the interior living spaces and the exterior garden.
The open-plan kitchen is designed as a social space where family and friends can gather. It offers ample room for a large dining table, making it perfect for extended meals and celebrations. The kitchen is fully equipped with modern appliances, including a gas hob for precise cooking control, an oven for baking and roasting, a refrigerator, a freezer, and a dishwasher for convenient cleanup. Whether you are preparing a quick weekday meal or an elaborate dinner party, this kitchen provides all the facilities you need.
The bathroom is both modern and practical in its design. It has been fitted with underfloor heating for added comfort, especially during the cooler months. The bathroom includes a bathtub for leisurely soaks, a generous walk-in shower for everyday convenience, a double vanity unit that provides ample space for personal care items, and an integrated toilet. In addition to the main bathroom, there is a separate guest toilet located elsewhere in the home, adding to the convenience for both residents and visitors.
Throughout the property, several features enhance comfort and functionality. Air conditioning is installed to maintain pleasant temperatures during warmer periods. Fiber optic internet connectivity ensures fast and reliable digital communication, which is increasingly important for remote work and entertainment. Solar panels have been installed on the roof, contributing to reduced energy costs and a smaller environmental footprint.
The property holds an energy label of C, indicating moderate energy efficiency. Various insulation improvements have been made to the home, including roof insulation, wall insulation, and the installation of mostly double glazing in the windows. These measures help to retain heat during winter and maintain cooler temperatures during summer. The primary heating system is a gas-fired Nefit combination boiler that dates from 2005 and is owned outright rather than rented. This boiler provides both central heating and hot water. For those who enjoy the ambiance of a real fire, a wood-burning stove is also present, offering a cozy alternative heat source and a focal point for the living area.
The outdoor space is one of the most attractive features of this property. The rear garden measures approximately 313 square meters, with dimensions of 22.85 meters in depth and 16.44 meters in width. The garden is oriented to the southeast, which means it benefits from abundant sunlight throughout the morning and afternoon. The orientation also provides excellent privacy, making it a peaceful retreat where you can unwind. Whether you enjoy gardening, sunbathing, or dining al fresco, this garden offers the space and setting for a wide range of outdoor activities.
A particularly practical feature of the property is the carport located at the side of the home. This carport is equipped with an electric roller door at the rear, providing secure and covered space that is suitable for storing a caravan or camper van. The rear access also leads directly to the back garden, adding convenience for outdoor activities and maintenance. For those who own recreational vehicles, this feature adds significant value and practicality.
The property includes an integrated garage that can accommodate one vehicle. The garage is equipped with a tilt-up door and a separate pedestrian side door for easy access. It has been fitted with electricity and heating, making it suitable not only for vehicle storage but also as a workshop or additional storage space. Please note that the garage does not have insulation. In addition to the garage, there is a freestanding wooden storage shed on the premises, providing further space for garden tools, equipment, and other items.
Parking is well catered for, with space available on the property itself as well as public parking options in the surrounding area. The home is situated on a quiet road within a residential neighborhood in Nederweert. This location offers peaceful surroundings with open views and a green environment, contributing to a relaxed and pleasant living experience. Nederweert is a municipality located in the southern province of Limburg, known for its friendly community and convenient access to nearby cities and natural areas.
In terms of structural characteristics, the building features a flat roof covered with bituminous waterproofing material, which is a common and effective roofing solution. The total volume of the property measures 704 cubic meters. In addition to the 180 square meters of primary living space, the property includes 19 square meters of other indoor space, 48 square meters of building-bound outdoor space such as the carport and covered areas, and 6 square meters of external storage space.
The property is being offered for sale at an asking price of 599,000 euros, excluding buyer's costs. This price translates to approximately 3,328 euros per square meter of living area. The home is available for transfer by mutual agreement, allowing flexibility in timing for the buyer.
This bungalow presents a compelling opportunity for those seeking a single-story home with generous proportions, modern amenities, and a substantial private garden. The combination of lifetime accessibility, practical features such as the heated sunroom and the versatile carport, and the peaceful residential setting makes it an attractive option for a wide range of potential buyers. Whether you are looking to downsize to a more manageable property without sacrificing space, seeking a home where you can age in place comfortably, or searching for a family home with room to grow, this property warrants serious consideration.
