Spacious Semi-Detached Home with Renovation Potential in Boxtel Centre
Key Features
Description
Welcome to Rechterstraat 71, a substantial property situated in the heart of Boxtel Centre. This semi-detached residence offers approximately 210 square metres of living space on a plot of 440 square metres, presenting an exceptional opportunity for buyers seeking a home with character and the potential to create their ideal living environment. With four bedrooms, a versatile layout, and a central location close to all amenities, this property combines space, possibility, and convenience in one attractive package.
The property is positioned on Rechterstraat, a street that benefits from its proximity to the vibrant centre of Boxtel. Residents here enjoy easy access to a variety of shops, restaurants, cafes, and daily amenities, all within walking distance. The nearby train station provides excellent connections to major cities including Eindhoven and 's-Hertogenbosch, making this location particularly appealing for commuters. Despite its central position, the neighbourhood also offers access to green spaces and walking routes, allowing residents to enjoy a balance of liveliness and tranquillity.
This residence has an interesting history, having previously served as a veterinary practice. The building has since been granted full residential status, yet the layout retains a flexibility that reflects its professional past. The current configuration includes multiple rooms that can serve a wide range of purposes, from traditional living spaces to a home office or practice. This adaptability makes the property especially suitable for buyers who require space for professional activities alongside their domestic life, or for those who simply appreciate having the freedom to configure their home according to their personal preferences.
Upon approaching the property, one is struck by its solid presence and the characteristic architectural style of a 1936 build. The semi-detached construction ensures a sense of privacy while maintaining a connection to the neighbouring property. The building features a composite roof typical of properties from this era, and the overall structure conveys a sense of permanence and durability that forms an excellent foundation for modernisation.
The ground floor of the property is particularly noteworthy for its flexibility and the number of access points it offers. Currently, the residence has multiple entrances that provide access to the ground floor spaces. At the front of the property, there is a front room that connects to the current living room, the hallway, and the cellar. This arrangement allows for a natural flow through the ground floor while also offering the possibility of creating distinct zones for different uses.
The living room itself features water and drainage connections where a sink is currently located, a remnant of the property's professional past. Adjacent to the living room is a multifunctional space that also has its own entrance, providing further options for how the ground floor can be utilised. This could serve as a consulting room, a studio, a home office, or simply as additional living space depending on the buyer's requirements.
From this multifunctional room, there is access to a urinal, a separate toilet, the bathroom, and the utility room. The bathroom is equipped with a shower and a double washbasin, and it also features two French doors that open directly onto the rear garden. This connection between the bathroom and the outdoor space is an unusual and appealing feature that brings natural light into the room and provides a pleasant link to the garden.
The utility room leads to a workspace that has its own entrance from the rear garden and connects through to a bedroom with a washbasin. This ground floor bedroom adds to the property's versatility, potentially serving as a master bedroom for those who prefer to avoid stairs, or as a guest room, treatment room, or additional office space.
Moving to the first floor, the landing provides access to three further bedrooms. Two of these are situated at the front of the property, with one featuring multiple built-in wardrobes and a washbasin. The third bedroom is located at the rear of the property and is notably generous in size, also benefiting from a built-in wardrobe. This bedroom has the added advantage of providing access to a kitchen area and a spacious roof terrace, creating a semi-independent suite that could be ideal for an older child, a lodger, or as a private retreat within the home.
The roof terrace itself is a valuable addition to the property, offering an outdoor space at first floor level where one can enjoy fresh air and sunshine. This terrace extends the usable living space and provides a pleasant spot for relaxation or entertaining.
The rear garden is a significant feature of this property. Measuring approximately 254 square metres with a depth of 25.78 metres and a width of 10.82 metres, the garden is notably deep and offers considerable scope for landscaping and personalisation. The garden is currently planted with mature greenery, which provides a sense of established privacy and natural beauty. There is ample space for multiple seating areas, allowing different parts of the garden to be enjoyed at different times of day and in different seasons. The northwest orientation of the garden means that it receives afternoon and evening sun, which is often considered desirable for outdoor enjoyment. A separate side entrance provides access to the garden from the rear, adding to the convenience and flexibility of the outdoor space.
The property is equipped with roller shutters, providing additional control over light, privacy, and insulation. The energy label is currently rated F, which reflects the age and current condition of the property. However, this also indicates significant potential for improvement through modernisation measures such as insulation, glazing upgrades, and heating system enhancements. The property is heated by a gas-fired combination boiler that provides both central heating and hot water. The boiler is owned by the property, meaning there are no rental obligations associated with it.
The total volume of the property is approximately 868 cubic metres, which contributes to the sense of spaciousness throughout. In addition to the 210 square metres of living space, the property includes 34 square metres of other indoor space and 57 square metres of building-related outdoor space, such as the roof terrace and any attached structures.
Parking in the area is provided through public parking facilities, which is typical for properties situated in such central locations. While there is no private driveway or garage, the availability of public parking in the vicinity ensures that residents and their visitors can find parking without undue difficulty.
The property is being offered at an asking price of €595,000, exclusive of buyer's costs. This represents a price per square metre of approximately €2,833, which is in line with the local market for properties of this size and type in the centre of Boxtel. The property is currently available for viewing, and the date of acceptance can be discussed by mutual agreement.
In summary, Rechterstraat 71 presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial semi-detached property in a highly central and convenient location. The building's history as a veterinary practice has left it with a layout that offers exceptional flexibility, making it suitable for a wide range of living and working arrangements. While the property would benefit from modernisation and updating, this also provides the new owner with the chance to create a home that perfectly matches their own taste and requirements. With its generous proportions, multiple rooms, deep garden, and excellent location close to all amenities and transport links, this is a property that deserves serious consideration from anyone looking for space, potential, and character in the heart of Boxtel.
