Description
Located on the Verbindingsweg in Reek, this detached residence offers a unique opportunity for those seeking a combination of space, privacy, and a rural lifestyle. The property is situated on a substantial plot of 3,560 square meters, providing a generous buffer from neighbors and a serene atmosphere. The location at the edge of the built-up area ensures a panoramic view over the surrounding fields and farmlands, allowing residents to enjoy the tranquility of the countryside daily. The home itself is well maintained and features a practical layout complemented by a large garage and a beautifully landscaped garden, making it a complete living solution.
Upon arrival, the property presents itself with a wide driveway that offers ample parking space for multiple vehicles on private land. The entrance to the home is reached via a spacious reception hall featuring a vide, which immediately creates an open and airy feel. This central hall serves as the circulation point of the house, granting access to the various living quarters, a separate toilet area, and the staircase leading to the upper floor.
The living room is a standout feature of the ground floor, designed with an emphasis on space and natural light. Large window frames allow for an abundance of daylight, illuminating the room and enhancing the view of the garden. The floor is finished with wood, adding a sense of warmth and comfort, while air conditioning is installed to maintain a pleasant indoor temperature during warmer months. The layout of the living room focuses on the connection to the outdoors. Attached to the living area is a conservatory, constructed with extensive glass surfaces that blur the boundary between the interior and the garden. This sunroom serves as an ideal spot to relax and enjoy the changing seasons while remaining sheltered from the elements.
Adjacent to the living areas is the modern kitchen, which is finished in a timeless color palette. The kitchen is equipped with a range of built-in appliances, ensuring that culinary tasks can be performed with ease. There is sufficient space to include a dining table, making the kitchen a social hub for family meals or gatherings. The ground floor further distinguishes itself through its versatility. In addition to the main living spaces, there is a large bedroom located on this level. This room includes a sink, which adds a layer of convenience. The flexibility of this space allows it to function as a master bedroom for those who prefer single-level living, or alternatively as a dedicated home office, a hobby room, or a guest suite. Completing the ground floor layout is a utility room, which houses connections for white goods and provides extra storage space, helping to keep the main living areas organized.
The first floor of the residence accommodates the private sleeping quarters. A spacious landing connects the various rooms and provides access to built-in storage cupboards located under the sloping rooflines, maximizing the efficiency of the floor plan. There are multiple bedrooms on this level, all benefiting from natural daylight. The presence of ample storage space within the rooms and on the landing ensures that the household clutter can be easily managed. The bathroom is situated on the first floor and is fully appointed. It features a bathtub, a separate shower, a double sink unit, and a toilet. This comprehensive suite caters well to family life.
The outdoor space is undoubtedly one of the most compelling aspects of this property. The garden encompasses the entire house and has been thoughtfully designed to offer both aesthetics and functionality. With a total area of 3,560 square meters, the grounds provide a high degree of privacy. Mature trees and hedges create natural borders, while the expansive lawn offers open green space. Several terraces have been integrated into the landscape, positioned to allow residents to follow the sun or seek shade throughout the day. A specific highlight in the garden is the wooden lounge area located at the rear of the property. This feature provides a dedicated space for outdoor entertaining or relaxation during warm summer evenings.
In addition to the main house, the property includes several outbuildings that enhance its utility. A large detached garage dominates the exterior facilities. Featuring two overhead doors, the garage offers significant internal volume suitable for parking multiple cars, storage, or use as a workshop. The garage is equipped with electricity, heating, and running water, which increases its potential uses. The listing notes that the structure is suitable for conversion into a care living facility, or that a separate care residence could potentially be realized in the garden, subject to the necessary municipal permits. Adjacent to the garage is a practical overhang, providing covered outdoor space. Furthermore, there is a specific storage shed available on the premises, which is ideally sized for accommodating larger recreational equipment such as a camper, caravan, or boat.
Technically, the home was built in 1970 but has been updated to meet modern standards. The description mentions an Energy Label B, supported by features such as roof insulation, wall insulation, and double glazing, including HR glass. The window frames are a mix of wood and characteristically styled steel. Heating and hot water are provided by a central heating boiler, specifically a Nefit Trentline installed in 2014. The property is connected to essential utilities including glass fiber internet and TV cables.
The location in Reek offers a peaceful living environment while remaining connected to surrounding amenities. The village itself provides basic services, while larger towns such as Schaijk, Grave, Uden, Oss, and Nijmegen are within reasonable driving distance. The nearby town of Ravenstein offers additional conveniences, including a train station and access to the A50 motorway. This connectivity ensures that residents can enjoy the quiet of rural living without being isolated from the infrastructure of the region. The combination of a spacious home, extensive grounds, versatile outbuildings, and a strategic location makes this property a distinctive offering in the current housing market.
