Spacious Residential Farmhouse with Annex in Elshout

Located in the peaceful village of Elshout, this distinctive residential farmhouse at Scheidingstraat 16 offers a unique living experience with ample space and character. Situated on a generous plot of approximately 1,373 square meters, the property presents itself as a versatile home that can accommodate various lifestyle needs. The farmhouse is currently configured as two separate living units, though from a zoning perspective, it is classified as a single dwelling. This arrangement opens up numerous possibilities for prospective buyers, whether they are seeking a home with workspace, accommodation for multigenerational living, or simply desire expansive living quarters for a large family.

The main structure dates back to 1887, yet significant renovations carried out in 2006 have brought the interior up to modern standards. During this renovation, the layout was reconfigured, and both kitchens and bathrooms were completely updated. Wall and floor finishes were largely replaced, and the property was enhanced with double glazing. The front facade was also renewed at this time, creating a cavity wall that improved the thermal performance of the building. Further energy efficiency improvements were made in 2024 when the exterior walls received additional insulation. The roof has also been largely retrofitted with insulation. Combined with the installation of 32 solar panels in 2022, these measures contribute to a comfortable and energy efficient living environment, reflected in the B energy label.

The ground floor of the front section features an entrance hall with access to a bay window room, beneath which lies a cellar. The kitchen is situated in a half open connection with the living room, creating a fluid living space. Additionally, this section includes a workspace or chill area. From the kitchen, a portal provides access to a laundry room, a toilet facility, and a fixed staircase leading to the upper floor. The living room itself is generously proportioned and includes a wood burning stove as well as radiators for heating. The layout allows flexibility in arranging seating and dining areas. The kitchen is equipped with a dishwasher, a stove, and a refrigerator freezer combination. A side entrance with an overhang offers a pleasant spot to enjoy the outdoor environment.

The rear section of the farmhouse is accessible via its own entrance and comprises a living kitchen and a spacious living room with views of the yard. The kitchen in this section features a corner layout with an induction cooktop, extractor hood, double sink, and a refrigerator freezer combination. From the kitchen, there is access to the meter cupboard and a toilet facility. A closed staircase from the living room leads to the upper floor. Notably, the ground floor in the rear section was completely removed during the 2006 renovation and rebuilt with concrete, insulation, and underfloor heating, finished with PVC flooring.

The first floor maintains the dual configuration, with both sections accessible via their own staircases. In the front section, the landing provides access to three bedrooms and a bathroom. This bathroom, updated in 2006, includes a bathtub, shower, toilet, and washbasin. The rear section contains two additional bedrooms and a second bathroom equipped with a shower, washbasin, and toilet. In total, the property offers five bedrooms and two full bathrooms. A central heating boiler from approximately 2017 serves the rear section.

A fixed staircase in the front section leads to the second floor, which consists of a front landing and a storage room. This attic space is insulated and primarily used for storage purposes. The central heating boiler for the front section, dating from around 2006, is located here.

The outdoor area complements the property beautifully and offers substantial practical utility. A large outbuilding on the plot includes a spacious garage or shed with storage capabilities. A toilet is present in this building. At the rear, three horse stalls and a wash area have been constructed. The upper floor of the outbuilding features an additional room with shower and washbasin, which could serve as a guest accommodation, office, or hobby space. The outbuilding is partially insulated and has a roof constructed with sandwich panels. The 32 solar panels are positioned on the south facing side of this structure. The expansive and well organized garden provides ample space for greenery, a seating area, or play space for children.

The property is located in the charming village of Elshout, which offers a tranquil setting while maintaining good connectivity to larger urban centers. Waalwijk and s Hertogenbosch are both within easy reach. Schools, major roads, and various amenities are accessible quickly and conveniently. This combination of rural character and urban proximity makes the location particularly appealing.

With its substantial living area of 305 square meters, additional indoor space of 189 square meters, and outdoor structure of 59 square meters, this property provides an exceptional amount of space. The total volume of the building is 747 cubic meters. The plot is registered in three separate cadastral parcels in the municipality of Drunen, with a combined area matching the stated 1,373 square meters. Parking is available on the property for two vehicles, with garage facilities that include a carport and a detached stone garage, both equipped with electricity, heating, and running water. The property features fiber optic connectivity and mechanical ventilation. The asking price is 849,000 euros, which translates to approximately 2,784 euros per square meter of living space, with buyer costs applicable.
