Characterful Detached Home with Five Bedrooms and Garden Room in Sprundel Centre

This detached property located at Sint Janstraat 85 in Sprundel offers a unique combination of historical character and modern comfort. Originally built in 1901, the residence has been thoughtfully updated to meet contemporary living standards while preserving many authentic elements that give the home its distinctive atmosphere.

The house is situated in the centre of Sprundel, a village in the municipality of Rucphen known for its friendly community spirit and pleasant living environment. Residents here benefit from having daily amenities within easy reach, including shops, restaurants, schools, and sports facilities. The location also provides good connections to surrounding villages and larger cities, making it practical for commuters while still enjoying a peaceful village setting.

The ground floor layout begins with an entrance hall that immediately conveys the character of the property through its original features. From this central space, the living room is accessible on the left side, while a bedroom with an adjoining walk-in closet is located on the right. This ground floor bedroom makes the property suitable for those who prefer to avoid stairs or for guests who need single-level accommodation.

The spacious open kitchen serves as a true living area, featuring a glass dome that floods the space with natural light. The U-shaped kitchen layout provides ample workspace and storage capacity. Connected to the kitchen is the opkamer, a traditional Dutch room type, with a cellar beneath it. A fixed staircase leads from this room to the first floor. Behind the opkamer, there is an additional bedroom on the ground floor.

From the kitchen, one can access an intermediate hall containing a toilet and providing entry to yet another ground floor bedroom. This bedroom has an en-suite connection to a modern bathroom fitted with a shower and washbasin. Having a bathroom on the ground floor adds to the practicality of the layout.

At the rear of the house, an overhang is attached directly to the property, creating a covered outdoor space that can be used in various weather conditions.

The first floor contains two more generous bedrooms, both featuring dormer windows that add headroom and light. The landing provides access to all spaces on this level, including a fully equipped second bathroom with a shower, toilet, and washbasin. This floor layout is well suited for family use, hosting guests, or combining living with working from home.

The garden is a notable feature of this property, extending to 321 square metres with a depth of nearly 36 metres and a width of approximately 9 metres. It faces north and has been carefully landscaped with lawn areas, paved sections, and mature trees that provide privacy and shade. Multiple seating areas allow residents to enjoy different parts of the garden throughout the day.

A particularly attractive element is the garden room or conservatory with glass walls. This space is equipped with electricity and a pellet stove, making it comfortable for year-round use, even during winter months. The roof of this garden room accommodates 12 of the 18 solar panels installed on the property.

Also located in the garden is a former practice room that includes a separate toilet and has the potential for water supply. This outbuilding offers possibilities for a home office, hobby space, or small business premises such as a treatment room or salon.

At the rear of the plot stands a detached wooden garage with double doors that can accommodate two vehicles. The garage is also accessible via a separate pedestrian door and a large roller door on the side that opens to the public road, providing flexible access options.

The property is designated as culturally and historically valuable, though it does not have official monument status. This distinction means that all standard rules regarding permit-free building apply just as they would for any other regular residential property. Only when a renovation requires a building permit would the cultural heritage commission take the historical character into account during their assessment. The listing notes that there is ongoing consultation with the municipality regarding possible monumental status.

In terms of energy efficiency, the property has been awarded a B energy label. Insulation measures have been implemented across the roof, walls, floors, and windows with double glazing. Heating and hot water are provided by a Remeha gas-fired combination boiler installed in 2022. The property benefits from 18 solar panels in total, with the remainder located on the main roof beyond those on the garden room.

Climate control is enhanced by the presence of five air conditioning units, four of which are Mitsubishi models also installed in 2022. Other amenities include a mechanical ventilation system and a fibre optic cable connection.

The total living area measures 162 square metres, with an additional 18 square metres of other indoor space and 17 square metres of building-bound outdoor space. External storage amounts to 84 square metres. The total volume of the building is 803 cubic metres.

The property is offered at 625,000 euros with buyer's costs applicable. The asking price equates to approximately 3,858 euros per square metre of living space. Transfer details are to be discussed, and the property is currently available on the market.

With its combination of historical charm, practical ground floor facilities, multiple outbuildings, and generous garden, this property presents a versatile option for various types of buyers, from families seeking space to those looking to combine residential living with a home-based business activity.
