Historic Detached Townhouse in Picturesque Drimmelen Village Centre

This distinguished detached townhouse is situated on one of the most attractive streets in the village of Drimmelen, in the province of Noord-Brabant. The property occupies a generous plot of 760 square metres and offers a living area of 207 square metres. Drimmelen has been recognised multiple times as the most beautiful village in Noord-Brabant and is often referred to as the gateway to the Biesbosch nature reserve. The location provides a peaceful setting while remaining within walking distance of the nostalgic Herengracht canal and the old harbour area, which has since been expanded with several new marinas and various dining establishments.

The origins of this residence date back to approximately 1742, though the structure was essentially completely rebuilt around 1970. During this reconstruction, care was taken to preserve the historical character of the property. The façade features traditional vlechtingen (decorative brickwork patterns), windows with crossbars, a raised opkamer, and wall anchors that are characteristic of the period. The interior has also been maintained in a style consistent with the historical nature of the building, resulting in a home with genuine character that is rarely found in such a prime location.

The ground floor is accessed via an entrance on the side of the property, leading to a spacious reception hall with a cloakroom area. The hall features tiled flooring that continues into the living areas. A meter cupboard houses twelve electrical groups and three earth leakage circuit breakers. A toilet room is partially finished with wooden wainscoting and partially with plastered walls, containing a wall hung toilet and a washbasin. From the hall, one enters the main living room which measures approximately 60.1 square metres. This space has been thoughtfully arranged with two distinct seating areas. The front seating area includes a wood burning stove that was newly installed in 2026. The rear seating area is designed as a sunken sitting area overlooking the garden, with double opening doors providing direct access to the outdoor space. In the centre of the ground floor is an authentic opkamer, a traditional raised living space, adjacent to which the dining area has been positioned.

The kitchen was installed in 2014 and features an induction cooktop that was replaced in 2023. From the kitchen, access is provided to a storage cellar. A utility room houses the white goods connections and contains a second separate toilet room with a standing toilet. A door from the utility room leads directly to the rear garden.

The first floor is reached via a staircase from the ground floor hall. A spacious U shaped landing provides access to three generous bedrooms measuring approximately 19.8 square metres, 19.6 square metres, and 17.5 square metres respectively. Two of the bedrooms are equipped with washbasin furniture, and the master bedroom includes two built in wardrobes and an en suite bathroom. A large fixed cupboard on the landing houses a hot water boiler with a capacity of 200 litres, which was newly installed in 2026, with additional storage space available. The wooden flooring on the landing continues into the bedrooms. A fixed staircase leads from the landing to the second floor. The main bathroom, which can also be accessed from the landing, measures approximately 13.7 square metres and is equipped with a bathtub, a walk in shower, a toilet, and a double washbasin with furniture.

The second floor currently comprises a single open space of approximately 59 square metres that serves a multifunctional purpose. This area offers ample room to create a home office workspace, and there is sufficient space to realise two additional bedrooms if desired. The second floor was recently modernised in 2026, with new insulation installed and radiators added for heating.

The front garden faces north west and has been neatly laid out to provide privacy from the street. The rear garden faces south east and measures approximately 455 square metres, extending about 26 metres in depth and 17.5 metres in width. Directly behind the house is a terrace area with storage for firewood and a path leading to the detached garage. The garage measures approximately 31.5 square metres, is constructed with cavity walls, and includes a storage attic. A radiator has been installed in the garage, allowing the space to be heated, making it suitable for hobby activities or as a workshop. Behind the garage is an additional storage building where the central heating boiler is located.

Recent technical improvements to the property include the complete replacement of the electrical system in 2024, installation of a new Remeha Tzerra Ace 35c CW5 gas fired central heating boiler in 2024, insulation work carried out on the bedrooms, landing, and second floor roof in 2025 and 2026, and the modernisation of the second floor in 2026. The window frames are made of wood, and the property benefits from partial double glazing, roof insulation, and wall insulation, resulting in an energy label C rating. The ground floor has a partially concrete and partially wooden beam floor construction, while the upper floors have wooden beam constructions.

The driveway is shared with neighbouring properties, for which written agreements are in place. The property is offered at a price of 867,500 euros, which is subject to buyer costs. An official measurement report compliant with NEN standards is available for the property, providing verified information regarding the living area and volume of the residence. The cadastral designation is MADE EN DRIMMELEN T 1013, with a total surface area of 760 square metres held in full ownership.
