Characterful Semi-Detached Farmhouse with Six Bedrooms in Soerendonk

Welcome to Zitterd 2a, a spacious and characterful semi-detached house located in the heart of Soerendonk. This property represents half of an original long-facade farmhouse that was originally built around 1936. After the original structure was split, the remaining half underwent comprehensive renovations while carefully preserving the rural atmosphere that gives this home its distinctive charm. Features such as the traditional stable windows and exposed wooden beams have been retained throughout the property, creating a warm and inviting living environment that connects the present with the past.

The ground floor layout has been designed with practicality in mind. Upon entering through the main entrance, visitors are immediately struck by the sense of space that characterizes the entire property. The entrance hall provides access to the first staircase leading to the upper floor, as well as a generous bathroom fitted with a washbasin with vanity unit, a bathtub, and a toilet. From the hall, one proceeds into the main living area.

The living room is notably spacious and maintains an authentic atmosphere through its original stable windows and visible ceiling beams. A sandstone mantelpiece serves as a focal point and complements the traditional character of the space. The room features a built-in wall cupboard and opens directly onto the garden through French doors, establishing a pleasant connection between indoor and outdoor living. The living room also connects to a portal area that houses the second staircase to the upper floor.

Between the living room and the kitchen lies a practical intermediate space that offers flexibility in its use. This area is well suited to function as a home office or as a play area for children. Within this space one finds the meter cupboard, a tiled toilet room, and a utility room containing the connections for washing appliances along with an additional shower facility.

The country-style kitchen has been thoughtfully appointed with a terrazzo work surface, a Boretti stove with extractor hood, a Quooker instant boiling water tap, a dishwasher, and a refrigerator. Two traditional stable windows positioned above the work surface provide an attractive view of the garden. The kitchen offers ample space for a dining table, making it a natural gathering point for family meals.

A portal adjacent to the kitchen provides garden access and leads to a multifunctional room that could serve various purposes. This room features French doors opening onto the garden and is fitted with a laminate floor. Given its ground floor location and direct garden access, this space would be particularly suitable as a bedroom for those seeking to age in place, or alternatively as a hobby room or additional living space.

The first floor of the property continues the theme of generous proportions. The presence of two separate staircases and five rooms provides considerable flexibility for families of various sizes and compositions.

The staircase near the front door leads to a first multifunctional room equipped with two skylights. An L-shaped landing offers practical storage space. The second bedroom is distinguished by its ridge-high ceiling and built-in wardrobe space concealed behind a partition wall. This room also features two skylights.

The third bedroom occupies a corner position within the property and benefits from a ridge-high ceiling, two skylights, and additional windows in the facade. This atmospheric room includes a fireplace with a wood-burning stove, adding to its character and providing supplemental heating during colder months.

The second bathroom on this floor has been finished with a terrazzo floor incorporating underfloor heating and has been decorated entirely in keeping with the rural style of the property. The bathroom features a freestanding bathtub, a washbasin with an authentic vanity unit, a walk-in shower, and a toilet. A dormer window ensures natural light enters the space while adding to the feeling of spaciousness.

At the rear of the property, the second staircase provides access to the fourth bedroom, which has been enhanced with a dormer window. Adjacent to this bedroom is an additional room suitable for use as a study or guest room, along with a storage area housing the hybrid combination boiler that was installed in 2023.

All rooms on the upper floor feature laminate flooring in warm tones and interior doors in a 1930s style with matching hardware, maintaining the period character throughout.

The exterior of the property is equally appealing. The plot of 410 square meters is advantageously positioned on the sunny side of the street. The garden has been landscaped with ornamental paving, various planted borders, a gate, and a surrounding laurel hedge that provides privacy. A detached wooden garage with double doors offers parking for one vehicle and opens onto the driveway.

The property benefits from roof insulation and wooden window frames with insulating glazing. The energy label is currently rated D. Heating is provided by a gas-fired combination boiler from 2023, with partial underfloor heating on the ground floor.

Soerendonk offers basic daily shopping facilities, along with hospitality venues, healthcare and sports facilities, and a primary school. The nearby villages of Budel and Maarheeze provide more extensive shopping options. Maarheeze railway station is within easy reach, and the A2 motorway can be accessed within a matter of minutes, making this location practical for commuters.

The transfer of the property is by mutual agreement. The purchase contract will include a deposit or bank guarantee equal to ten percent of the purchase price.
