This charming rural family home, set on a generous plot, has been cherished by the same family for generations. In 2021, the original long-facade farmhouse made way for this modern, larch-clad country residence.?

Built upon the solid concrete foundations of the original farmhouse, this exceptional property is designed for dual living. It comprises a spacious main family home and a fully independent (care) unit, office, or practice space. Both sections are internally connected, if desired, offering versatility and future-proof living.?


5 ASSETS: NEXT-LEVEL LIVING IN THIS RURAL FAMILY HOME NEAR THE MIERLO FORESTS

1. Space for the Entire Family, Together Yet Separate
Two generations under one roof, without compromising on privacy. Completely renovated country home featuring a main residence and an adjoining (care) unit. Ideal for parents, children, or guests who wish to be close—yet maintain their own space. Also perfectly suited for a home office or practice!

2. Rarely Beautiful Residential Location in Nature
Peace, space, and accessibility. Situated in the beautiful countryside near the Mierlo Forests, on a spacious and secluded plot. Super central: you're quickly in Mierlo, Eindhoven, Helmond, or on the highway.

3. Ample Living Space for Every Family Member
The upper floor is cleverly laid out: one side features a generous master suite with wardrobe space and an en-suite bathroom, while the other side offers 4 to 5 children's bedrooms and a second bathroom. Everyone has their own domain!

4. Your Own Staycation Paradise
Dreaming of a delightful swimming pool with a pool house, your own padel court, or a mini-farm with chickens and goats? With a south-facing garden that's 120 meters deep, anything is possible.

5. Future-Proof and Sustainable
Completed in 2021, with an energy label of A++ thanks to top insulation, triple-glazed HR++ windows, underfloor heating, heat recovery ventilation, and 24 solar panels. Ready for the future—and for low energy costs.


SUSTAINABILITY

This home underwent extensive renovation in 2020/2021, with a strong focus on sustainability and energy efficiency. The result: a comfortable home with an energy label of A++.?

Floors, walls, and roofs are optimally insulated, and all windows are equipped with triple-glazed HR++ glass. The dual balanced ventilation system with heat recovery ensures a consistently pleasant indoor climate. The home is heated via two high-efficiency combi boilers combined with underfloor heating on the ground floor and in the bathrooms.?

On the south-facing roof, 24 solar panels were installed in 2021 (360 Wp per panel, yield in 2024: 812 kWh), contributing to a low energy bill and a sustainable lifestyle.?


LAYOUT

The entire family has the space to live together or privately. The large living areas are interconnected, while each family member has a spacious, private bedroom. This is especially true for the additional, fully independent unit on the left side, which is particularly suitable for (grand)parents, other family members, or an au pair, but also for an office and/or practice at home.?


GROUND FLOOR

Immediately upon entering the hallway with the meter cupboard and guest toilet, the farmhouse features are visible: the sturdy oak beams that form and support the structure. The light L-shaped living room has the same characteristic beams, plus the beautiful oak herringbone floor (Esco Vloeren) and large sliding glass doors on both sides.?

In the passage to the living kitchen, there's a large utility and storage cupboard under the stairs. The spacious and high living kitchen features a polished concrete floor with underfloor heating, two large sliding glass doors, a triple-glazed high window in the front facade, and double Velux skylights in the slanted roof of the mezzanine. Here is the door to the adjoining unit, currently concealed behind a cupboard wall.?

The large kitchen island in high-gloss white with a composite countertop has cabinets and drawers on both sides, a dishwasher, sink, and Siemens induction hob, with integrated Etna extraction in the lowered ceiling. The cupboard wall in velvet blue houses the Siemens coffee machine and oven, the built-in refrigerator, and additional cupboard space. The same terrazzo tiles on the floor as in the guest toilet are placed between them.?

The utility and laundry room with connections for laundry appliances has its own back door to the garden. Next to it is the technical storage room with the central heating boiler and shelving units.?


ADJOINING (CARE) UNIT / OFFICE OR PRACTICE SPACE

The left section is a complete, independent unit with its own second entrance, terrace, and garden area. The kitchen is equipped with built-in appliances: induction hob with stainless steel extraction, oven, refrigerator, and dishwasher. The dining and sitting room with insulated stable windows has a sliding glass door to the terrace and garden. In the utility and laundry room with connections for laundry appliances and its own back door is again the internal door to the large country house, currently concealed behind a cupboard wall. There's also the separate guest toilet. The hallway leads to the large bedroom with wooden floor and en-suite bathroom with walk-in shower, second floating toilet, and washbasin unit with illuminated mirror. The entire unit is also equipped with wooden floorboards (Esco Vloeren) and underfloor heating.?


FIRST FLOOR

The enclosed staircase leads to a spacious landing with a mezzanine and balustrade – an ideal spot for a lounge area or home office. All tilt-and-turn windows and Velux skylights come with blackout (roller) blinds.

To the left of the mezzanine is the luxurious master suite: a generously sized bedroom with a walk-in closet, separated by a custom wardrobe wall, and a large private bathroom featuring a semi-freestanding bathtub, walk-in rain shower, double vanity with heated and illuminated mirror, and a floating toilet.

In the opposite wing, you’ll find two large, high-ceilinged bedrooms—mirror images of each other—along with a second bathroom fitted with a walk-in shower, floating toilet, vanity unit, mirrored cabinet, and underfloor heating.

Additionally, there are two more versatile rooms that can serve as bedrooms or workspaces. A separate technical room provides ample storage space and houses the solar panel inverter and the heat recovery ventilation system.


DRIVEWAY & PRIVATE PARKING

Next to the home, a private driveway leads to a double wooden gate with parking for two vehicles. Inside the secure, gravel-paved courtyard—with an EV charging point—there is ample room for multiple cars and even a camper.


GARDEN & TERRACES

The front garden is styled in a classic farmhouse design, featuring ornamental trees and beech hedges. Spanning the full width of the house, the expansive and ultra-private rear garden faces south and is fully enclosed. A hedge-covered fence provides subtle separation between the two terrace areas.

Adjacent to the sliding doors of the kitchen is a large, paved terrace—perfect for entertaining, dining, or relaxing outdoors. Beyond it lies an enormous south-facing plot with endless possibilities: a chicken coop, space for goats, a vegetable or herb garden, a swimming pool with pool house, or even a tennis or padel court. Mature landscaping surrounds the lush lawn, including various fruit trees.


OUTBUILDINGS

Two original barns are located in the spacious backyard. The attached (care) unit includes its own charming wooden outbuilding with storage and workshop space. The larger barn, featuring a covered outdoor lounge area, offers extensive potential for renovation and repurposing—think horse stables, a garage, workshop, additional storage, hobby room, youth hangout, or even a guest house. Water and electricity connections are already in place.


LOCATION & VIEWS

This country residence is located on Kasteelweg, on the edge of Mierlo, nestled in the quiet and green outskirts of the village. The tree-lined road sees only local traffic. The surroundings are dotted with similarly detached farmhouses and countryside estates. A quiet mini-campsite with long-term, older guests is located nearby.


MIERLO & SURROUNDINGS

Until recently, Mierlo was an independent municipality. After ceding Mierlo-Hout and Brandevoort to Helmond, it merged in 2004 with Geldrop to form the municipality of Geldrop-Mierlo. With approximately 10,000 residents, Mierlo remains the smallest village in the region.

Each April, the cherry blossoms bloom along the 16 km IVN cycling and blossom route “Mierlose Zwarte.” Many other cycling and mountain biking trails pass through Mierlo, including scenic routes along the nearby Eindhoven Canal.

Mierlo is surrounded by breathtaking natural reserves. Just a few hundred meters away lies Molenheide forest, featuring several ponds and covering 248 hectares together with Luchense Heide and the Verste Bos. Heading towards Heeze, you'll find the renowned Strabrechtse Heide.

The location also enjoys a central position in the Brainport metropolitan region. Geldrop, Helmond, and Eindhoven—with all their amenities and Eindhoven Airport—are easily and quickly accessible.

THE 5 ASSETS OF THIS BRIGHT, DETACHED BUNGALOW WITH INDOOR GARAGE AND SUNNY GARDEN, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GREENERY

1. Quiet, green neighbourhood with everything close by
Quiet, wide streets with large gardens and lots of greenery. And yet you can easily reach the pleasant village centre of Son en Breugel. Here you experience the holiday feeling, day after day.

2. Four spacious bedrooms, two to three bathrooms
Perfect for families, homecare, lodgers, or as a home office or practice. And with the possibility of a third bathroom, it offers all the space you could wish for!

3. Playful, semi-circular and high living room
Wát a light. Six ceiling-high windows, a cosy fireplace and a nice atmosphere - you won’t want to leave this place.

No peeking, but squirrels. Sunny spots, south-west facing, lots of greenery and a nice partly covered terrace. And with the garden lights on at night, a fairytale spot.

5. Comfortable and sustainable
Underfloor heating, insulating glass and air conditioning ensure a wonderful living climate, both in summer and winter. There are 10 solar panels on the flat roof.


LIGHT, SPACIOUS AND GREEN
You enter the spacious reception hall with cloakroom and guest toilet. And then you are really surprised when you step into the strikingly high living room. This semi-circular room with six large extra-high windows with dauerluftung, lets daylight flood in from all sides. This is the focal point of this home that you too can surely fall in love with instantly. Can you picture it? In summer with a book on the couch in the sun, in winter cosily together around the fireplace.

The living room with natural stone floor and underfloor heating has a playful layout, thanks to the half-open wall that divides this room into two parts. At the front is the spacious and bright sitting area. At the back is the cosy dining area with double sliding doors and views of the back garden.

That garden? A lovely green spot with complete privacy. So it is not overlooked, except for some curious squirrels. The partly covered terrace adjacent to the dining room is also a nice place to sit. Prefer some extra shade on hot days? At the push of a button, the electric awning provides just that. And as soon as night falls, the mood lighting gives a fairytale glow over the garden.
 

ROOM FOR EVERYONE
Beyond the living room, a spacious intermediate hallway - with skylight - leads to bedroom 1 on the left. This master bedroom has a fine built-in wardrobe and its own modernised bathroom 1 with walk-in shower. The other two bedrooms, one with a wardrobe, overlook the back garden and are located to the right of the intermediate hall. In that hall you’ll find a separate toilet, plenty of closet space and a tiled storage room. Need extra plumbing? A 3rd bathroom can easily be generalised here.

In the extension to the right of the house (1998), accessed via the kitchen and utility room, you will find the fourth bedroom with wall-to-wall bespoke wardrobe. Again spacious, bright and overlooking the back garden. Also attached to this bedroom 4 is a 2nd bathroom with shower and 3rd toilet. Prefer a bath? That certainly fits. This part of the house also has a large practical utility room for washing machine, tumble dryer and storage. And again with such a large skylight. No shortage of natural daylight in this house!

 
COOK AND ENJOY
The living kitchen (1998) of this bungalow is large and practical. Dishwasher, oven, fridge, more than enough cupboard space - everything you need and room for everyone. Nice cooking with a view of the greenery, who wouldn’t want that? Prefer a more modern open kitchen with an island, directly connected to the dining room? Of course, that too is possible.


PRAKTICAL EXTRAS
The spacious indoor garage with electric door can hold at least a car, bikes and lots of extra stuff. Need extra storage? That’s possible in the handy attic. The large driveway has room for two to three cars. And do you have plans for a practice or home office? For that too, this heated garage space, possibly in combination with the extension, is ideal.

Pyreneeslaan 13 is a place to land. Quiet and green, but with everything you need within driving or cycling distance. Can you see yourself living here already? Come along and experience it for yourself!


LOCATION AND VIEWS
This bungalow is located on the edge of the green and quiet De Gentiaan neighbourhood. Wide avenues, large plots and a mix of characteristic villas, mainly owner-occupied houses and (semi-) bungalows create a nice, spacious atmosphere. Here, children can play safely outdoors and enjoy peace and quiet.

Pyreneeënlaan is a quiet street with only local traffic. Most houses have large, green gardens. So it feels like you live in the middle of nature, yet you are in the centre of Son en Breugel with all daily amenities within minutes.
 

SON EN BREUGEL AND SURROUNDINGS 
This pleasant and green village on the Dommel river consists of two church villages on either side of this little river: Son on the left bank and the smaller Breugel on the right bank. The municipality of Son and Breugel is located northeast of Eindhoven, in the Brainport metropolitan region, and has around 18,000 inhabitants.

In the cosy village centre you will find shops, boutiques and fine cafés and restaurants. During the summer months, the village therefore attracts many cyclists, walkers and water sports enthusiasts. Son en Breugel’s large sports park is also close by. With golf, tennis, hockey, padel and a sports hall, you can have a good time here. And in terms of schools and healthcare, you won’t miss a thing here either.

Want to go out? Just a 15-minute drive takes you to Eindhoven. Ideal for a day of shopping, extensive dining or going to the theatre or a concert. And within 3 minutes you are on the A50 towards Veghel, or within 7 minutes on the A2 towards Den Bosch or the south.

Behind the facade is a spacious, stylish and modern family home with a beautiful green back garden with plenty of privacy and a multifunctional outbuilding. A perfect balance between history and modern convenience!


GROUND FLOOR - ALL THE SPACE, YET COSY
From the bustling Market Square, you step into the porch of this home, with the spacious and warm reception hall immediately following. A fine entrance! To the left is the cosy TV room, also ideal as a play or game room.

After the staircase, you enter the living room. Underfloor heating and a cosy cast-iron fireplace make this a wonderfully cosy place in winter. And in summer, the French doors make the terrace and green garden a nice extension of the living room.

To the right of the porch is the cosy dining room, with a lovely round decorative window and atmospheric gas fireplace. From here, you overlook the lively Market Square. It is nice to get together in the dining room. Start the day with a communal breakfast or enjoy a cosy dinner in the evening.

Following on from the dining room is the kitchen. The ideal place to indulge in culinary delights. The natural stone worktop, plenty of storage space and modern appliances, including a Quooker tap and five-burner gas hob with wok burner... A dream for any hobby chef. Who will you invite to the first dinner party?

Of course, a practical utility and laundry kitchen should not be missing either. It has a large laundry cupboard and an updated kitchen unit with terrazzo worktop. Through the back door, you walk straight into the sunny back garden. The garden room and outbuilding are also located there.


FIRST FLOOR - 4 BEDROOMS AND BATHROOM
Upstairs. The atmosphere on the bright landing is reminiscent of a cosy boutique hotel. Get away, in your own home! On the first floor, you will find four spacious bedrooms and the bathroom. All bedrooms are spacious enough for a double bed and have extra-insulated windows. That promises to wake up wonderfully rested.

Did we mention the view? From the master bedroom at the front, you overlook the Market Square and bedroom 2 gives a beautiful view of the basilica’s bell tower. Bedroom 3 is located on the garden side and bedroom 4 on the side wall.

The spacious bathroom is also located on this first floor. The special details, such as the authentic wooden construction beam, make this the place for some time to yourself. The hot whirlpool bath is already slowly filling up


SECOND FLOOR - 2 MORE ROOMS AND SAUNA
The second floor is also nice and spacious and light, thanks to the many (roof) windows. The two extra rooms can be set up as bedrooms, but also as offices, gyms or hobby or playrooms. And don’t forget the infrared sauna on the landing. Another place to relax.


SPACIOUS STORAGE ATTIC
From the landing on the second floor, the almost 18-metre-long storage attic can be accessed via a loft ladder. The house is already spacious, but with this attic you will certainly not be short of (storage) space.


STORAGE AND WINE CELLAR
At the top of the fixed cellar stairs in the scullery is a handy household cupboard. The large cellar itself - where bending down is not necessary - is very suitable for storing stock and wines, thanks to the constant climate.


MULTIFUNCTIONAL ANNEX
Do you have plans for a bed & breakfast, flat or home office? The possibilities are endless for this multifunctional space! The outbuilding is almost 70 m², beautifully renovated and well insulated. Fun fact: this place used to be a taxi workshop. The large, high and open space, with storage space and attic, is now used as a play, game and party room for the kids. At the front is a sunny terrace with pergola.


LARGE GARAGE/STORAGE ROOM WITH GARDEN ROOM
Behind the double wooden garage doors to the right of the house, there is more than meets the eye. This fully covered 15-metre-long space used to be the taxi company’s passage to the workshop. The approximately 35 m² area is nice and bright and offers many additional possibilities. For example, as a separate garage and bicycle storage. The rear area then remains usable as a cosy, covered garden room.


SUNNY BACK GARDEN
A place with all the privacy and tranquillity. That is what you will experience in the beautiful ornamental and play garden, which is south-west facing. It is a beautiful and well thought-out mix of terraces, fruit trees, planting, lawn and paving. Combined with the mood lighting (controllable via an app), it all creates a sheltered and cosy atmosphere; a lovely place for long summer evenings.


RICH HISTORY
Living in a national monument... that's extra special! In addition to the architectural report by Monumentenwacht Noord-Brabant (2024), this house also has historical stories, documents and drawings. These have all been collected in a book. A small insight: Markt 11, for instance, was home to the town clerk, a gold and silversmith and the De Kroon family, well-known beer brewers. Before the current owners - a family with three children - made this their own, this house also housed a garage and taxi company from just after WWII.

Not only the house itself, but also the village of Oirschot has a long and rich history. Oirschot has more than three hundred monuments. Diagonally opposite Markt 11 is the ‘cathedral of Oirschot’, the beautiful St Peter's Basilica from around 1510. Also visible from the front door: the listed former town hall from 1513, now the site of the Visit Oirschot information and inspiration point.


THE COSY MARKET AND THE TOWN CENTRE
The Oirschotse Markt is one of the most beautiful and cosy squares in Brabant, well-known at home and abroad. From the high windows of Markt 11, you have a beautiful view of the stately trees, benches and cobblestones and, of course, the St Peter’s Basilica. Step out the front door and take a seat at one of the fine restaurants and terraces or go for a nice round of shopping.

Another great development: from the recent Centre Plan, the burgundian atmosphere and amenities in Oirschot are getting an extra boost. The aim is a vibrant, inviting and car-free village centre. Water and climate management and biodiversity are also given full attention in this plan.


OIRSCHOT AND SURROUNDINGS
For those who do not know Oirschot (well): the village is located in the Kempen region of Brabant, between Eindhoven and Tilburg. The municipality consists of Oirschot, Spoordonk, Middelbeers, Oostelbeers and Westelbeers and has over 19,000 inhabitants. The village has many restaurants, shops and amenities, and schools are also within walking and cycling distance.

The municipality has several museums and the largest ‘monument density’ in the Netherlands. In terms of nature, the area also lacks nothing. There are eleven nature reserves and estates, including the Oirschotse Heide, De Beerze, Baest estate and the Landschotse Heide. If you like walking and cycling among the heathland, woods and fens, you will not be short of anything here!

Oirschot has a favourable economic location in the Brainport region. Within 5 car minutes you are on the A58 towards Tilburg or Eindhoven, or on the A2 towards Den Bosch or the south. And convenient for a trip abroad: Eindhoven Airport is just 12 kilometres away.

HISTORY

Gagelstraat 107, together with Gagelstraat 109 and Willemstraat 108, is housed in the former Gomarus cigar factory (commissioned in 1902) by Norbert van Reuth. This factory was operational from 1903 to 1934. This municipal monument is a rare example of the industrialization of Eindhoven.

The design and location are characteristic. The arched windows, segmental arches above windows and doors, the mansard roof with the distinctive masonry in dentil style underneath are particularly beautiful.

The cigar industry dominated the Eindhoven economy in the second half of the nineteenth century, and just before the turn of the century, more than a fifth of the nearly five thousand inhabitants earned their livelihood from it.

Despite the rise of Philips and the resulting increase in labor costs, the sector managed to maintain itself fairly well in the following decades, although a concentration process occurred at the expense of small entrepreneurs. Moreover, the cigar industry spread southwards over the Kempen region to places like Valkenswaard and Bergeijk. Particularly in Valkenswaard, there were an estimated sixty cigar factories, alongside hundreds of people active in home-based industry.

The best-known entrepreneur was Hendrik Kersten, founder of the cigar brand Willem II. In the wake of the cigar industry, supply companies for paper, matches (Mennen & Kuenen, 1870), and boxes (Picus, 1883) also developed.

GROUND FLOOR LAYOUT

The impressive entrance hall with a large atrium, meter cupboard, and bicycle storage stands out for its sturdy appearance, unique daylight, and stunning height. Behind it lies a practical utility room with washing machine connections under an original vaulted ceiling.

The heart of this loft home is the spacious living-dining kitchen of over 50 m² with a two-sided tunnel gas fireplace. The original ceiling beams add extra charm. The adjoining sitting room with workspace overlooks the sunny city garden and has its own door leading to the parking space.

The cozy custom kitchen (2019) with cast floor, ample storage space, and composite countertops revolves around the immense island with seating for the wall unit with built-in cabinets. This includes a brass sink, tap, and four PITT gas burners, with a designer hood with lighting above. There is plenty of space for a large dining table. The kitchen is fully equipped with a steam oven, oven, refrigerator, drawer freezer, and dishwasher (2023).

FIRST FLOOR

The custom-made landing staircase of oak and steel is a real eye-catcher in the house. The balustrade can optionally be equipped with glass panels. A lift installation is also possible in the center of this immense staircase.

On landing 1, there is a luxurious guest toilet with a fountain. The living room with impressive height and authentic brick is atmospherically and stylishly restored.

Adjacent is the spacious bedroom/office 1 (currently used as the master bedroom) with a glass wall and original brick wall, equipped with a custom wardrobe wall with built-in washbasin. This room is also ideal as a spacious home office with a kitchenette. A private second bathroom can easily be realized here.

SECOND FLOOR

Together with the top floor, this is the domain of the children. On the spacious landing 2, there is a separate toilet with washbasin connection. Additionally, the spacious bathroom (2019) can be found here, complete with two washbasin units, a bathtub, and a fine rain shower. There is an extra cupboard for towels, and underfloor heating is applied.

On both sides of the bathroom are two large bedrooms and sitting rooms. These rooms are wonderfully light thanks to the Velux windows in the mansard roof. What also stands out are the beautiful roof beam constructions that remain visible, giving the rooms a unique and charming appearance. This makes this floor not only functional but also very atmospheric and attractive for children.

THIRD FLOOR

On the compact landing 3 with a round window is a spacious 4th bedroom or office. This room is equipped with no fewer than eight large Velux skylights with insulated glass and blackout roller blinds. At the back, you will find the technical room with the central heating combi boiler (Vaillant HR 2008) and the Stork Air ventilation system with heat recovery.

OUTDOOR SPACE AND PRIVATE PARKING

This loft villa features a sunny city garden of over 30 m² on the south, perfect for sunny afternoons. With a private back entrance to the private parking space on Willemstraat, there is plenty of space for a drink and dining terrace. The garden is equipped with lighting and sockets for added convenience.

The owners rent an additional parking space in the garage under Hoog Gagel and have options to park on Gagelstraat itself with a municipal parking permit.

The signature of architect Wouter Margry is immediately recognizable: sleek, stylish, and focused on light, with an abundance of beautiful windows. This detached, spacious villa is located in an excellent and peaceful spot, overlooking a green square. All amenities are within reach, with the centers of Waalre and Eindhoven nearby, and the forest just a short walk away.

SUSTAINABILITY
This detached villa boasts energy label B. The solid construction with (sound) insulating porisostone includes roof, floor, and cavity insulation, as well as HR glass throughout. The convector trenches are equipped with efficient radiator fans.

The roof offers optimal opportunities for solar panels facing east, south, and west, ensuring a steady energy yield throughout the day. These solar panels can be perfectly paired with air conditioning for heating and cooling, a heat pump, and a charging station for electric vehicles in the carport.

Currently, the house is heated by a central heating boiler and convectors. However, there is potential for further sustainability upgrades, such as installing a hybrid system or heat pump, which could make the home entirely gas-free. Combined with solar panels, the villa could even become energy-neutral.

LAYOUT

This warm and inviting home, characterized by striking colors and thoughtful sightlines, is sure to charm the entire family. The current owners had it custom-built in 1995, designed by Architectenbureau Margry. This detached villa is now hitting the market for the first time.

GROUND FLOOR
The house is entered through the covered carport, with a front door on the side façade. In the high, bright reception hall, you'll find the meter cupboard, a guest toilet, and an open hardwood staircase with a mezzanine.

The spacious living area of over 60 m² is cleverly divided into three functional zones: a cozy dining area near the garden doors adjacent to the kitchen, a large sitting room with tall windows on three sides at the front, and a sunken conservatory in the center. Thanks to its southern orientation and extra-thick insulating glass, the conservatory serves as a true sun and garden room. The façade and skylights were fitted with new screens in 2023.

The solid oak floor extends throughout, featuring a colorfast finish and enough durability to be sanded and treated multiple times. The double outlets (220V, timer, and dusk-controlled) are connected to the alarm system, enhancing living comfort and safety.

The sleek and stylish kitchen is a semi-professional space, perfect for culinary enthusiasts. Kickspace plinth heating eliminates the need for radiators, contributing to the streamlined design. It offers ample soft-close storage and is equipped with heat-resistant terrazzo worktops.

The high-quality appliances are perfectly suited for extensive cooking adventures: two Miele refrigerators, two Miele drawer freezers, two Siemens ovens, and a six-burner gas stove with a robust stainless steel extractor hood. Three-phase power has already been installed for a potential induction hob. The kitchen is completed by stylish designer lighting, with ceiling fixtures and integrated shelf lighting, making the space both functional and atmospheric.

Since its construction was completed in 1883, the monumental "Belhuis" has been renovated and modernized several times to continue meeting current comfort and living standards. Throughout these renovations, many authentic elements have been carefully preserved or restored, from stained glass windows and shutters to terrazzo floors bordered with mosaic and ceiling ornaments created in the work.


SUSTAINABILITY

In 2023, 26 solar panels were installed. These are discreetly placed on the flat roof of the garden room/conservatory and on the sloping roof of the right wing of the villa.

Numerous improvements and sustainability measures have been implemented within the framework of the monumental regulations in a playful manner. During the renovation in 2016/2017, the ceilings with decorative ornaments in the living room, library, and sitting room were renovated and restored.

The entire ground floor was also renovated at that time. The expert advice of the Monumentenwacht (Monuments Watch) was consistently taken into account. The latest inspection report from 2023 is available for viewing.

In the new kitchen (2017) in the right wing, additional interior walls were brick-laid and insulated. New interior frames with HR++ glass were installed here, and floor insulation (for underfloor heating application) was applied. The space between the ceiling and the floor on the first floor was also insulated.

The garden room/conservatory, offering panoramic views of the mature green backyard, has a renewed glass front with insulated glass.

Furthermore, around interior walls were brick-laid and provided with additional insulation in the ground floor, including the master bedroom, bathroom, and laundry room. New interior frames with HR++ glass were also installed here, along with floor insulation (due to underfloor heating) and ceiling insulation between the ceiling and the first floor. Nearly the entire ground floor is fitted with insulated glass, with the exception of the back hall, master bedroom 1, and bathroom 1.

The entire facade in the living room has been renewed, and the renewed interior frames of the living room, library, and sitting room are equipped with HR++ glass.

The floor of the second floor is covered with insulation panels. Air conditioning systems for heating and cooling have been installed in the garden room/conservatory and living room. Insulation material has been applied behind the various heating radiators, and fans have been placed on the radiators for better efficiency.

LAYOUT

This monumental villa continues to surprise you with space and possibilities. With no less than four living spaces (living kitchen, living room, sitting room, and library), seven bedrooms/work/hobby rooms, and four bathrooms, the "Belhuis" has all the space for the entire (blended) family. To live, work, relax, and enjoy!


GROUND FLOOR: PLENTY OF LIVING SPACES AND PRIVATE SUITE

Arriving at the "Belhuis" is already an experience; along the monumental beech trees and through the driveway through the classic front garden towards the beautiful facades with artistic masonry and rounded high windows with mullions. Entering the impressive entrance and experiencing the many large and 3.60-meter-high spaces is also an experience in itself.

After the reception hall with authentic door unfolds the long and high, centrally located hallway. On either side are stately living spaces. On the left are the TV or sitting room with open wood-burning fireplace, bookcase, and wainscoting. Next to it is the bright library annex study. Both rooms have oak plank floors. On the right is the impressive and spacious living room with solid oak parquet in herringbone, open gas fireplace, and the high suite doors to the light garden room/conservatory with mosaic-bordered original terrazzo floor with mother-of-pearl and decorative strips.

Completely to the right is the living wing situated - formerly the coach house with horse stable. This generous and handleless living and enjoyment kitchen from Tinello is equipped with all luxury, including the large kitchen island with integrated extraction at the six PITT Cooking gas burners in the granite top, plus double sink with Quooker.

At the former stable doors is a pleasant border terrace with automatic sun protection with atmospheric lighting that has sun all afternoon; wonderful for drinks and dining. The long corridor leads into the staircase and into the rear hall with toilet, antique fountain, and wardrobe.

Past the stairs lies the parental suite: the large and bright master bedroom 1 with walk-in wardrobe, luxurious Tinello bathroom 1, and adjoining laundry room. The bathroom has a double sink in granite and a double walk-in shower with sun shower. The separate toilet with Geberit AquaClean shower toilet is in the laundry room, which has its own back door for sustainable drying of laundry outdoors. This sleeping wing is symmetrical with the coach house and was formerly the residence of the pastor's maid. Both wings have underfloor heating.


FIRST FLOOR: SLEEPING, WORKING, AND RELAXING

The authentic staircase with balustrade leads to the large L-shaped landing with skylight. Everywhere there is oak parquet in herringbone. Next to the stairs is the central heating room annex storage cupboard. The central heating combination boilers Remeha Quinta Pro HR and Remeha Calenta HR for heating and hot water are from 2017.

Bedroom 2 with built-in wardrobe and sandblasted glass sliding door, together with bathroom 2 with double sink, skylights, towel radiator, bathtub, and shower, form a private suite. By combining these rooms with the double room in the right wing, a more than spacious studio apartment is created.

This right wing is accessible via bathroom 2 on this floor. There is a huge space with skylights and a round window, where a large hobby or study room, spacious sitting-bedroom, or studio can be created, if desired.

Adjacent to the landing is a compact bathroom 3 with skylight, towel radiator, toilet, and shower. Furthermore, this floor has three spacious (children's) bedrooms and study rooms with large windows and built-in closets.

At the top of the left wing is a spacious sitting-bedroom 6 with wardrobe, Velux skylights, plank floor, and its own bathroom 4 with round window, toilet, and rain shower. The sliding door playfully follows the lines of the roof slope.


SECOND FLOOR: ATTIC

In the attic is the ceiling hatch with loft ladder to the spacious attic. There is almost 45 square meters of storage space available at a height of 1.50 meters. The attic is currently not in use; insulation has been laid on the floor which replaces the roof insulation.


BASEMENT: PANTRY CELLAR

The large, partially tiled cellar with brick staircase has two daylight windows and a monastery floor. In the two cellar parts, under the vaulted ceilings, there is plenty of space for a game room, home bar, or wine cellar with tasting room, for example. There is still a robust safe. Behind the hatch is the water pipe to the outdoor faucet.


GARDEN AND OUTDOOR SPACE

The garden surrounding the property is as monumental as the "Belhuis" itself. This certainly applies to the two red beech trees at the front; both trees are municipally monumental with their age over one and a half centuries older than the "Belhuis." The trees behind, including lime trees and a chestnut tree, are also of age.

The garden is classically designed everywhere with mature hedges and shrubs, lawn, and lanterns. Highlights in the rear are the large lawn behind the tall beech hedges, the classic pond with trimmed yew spheres, the dolomite paths, and the large border terrace with sloping walking path at the conservatory and living kitchen.

In the pond - annually the domain of a pair of ducks - a fountain can be installed. The terrace at the back is partly covered. A striking detail: the door of the former outdoor toilet (now laundry room) is still there. The immense white climbing rose against the wall is a Guirlande d'Amour and provides a veritable sea of flowers in summer. The dried rose hips were used by nuns to make rosaries in the past.


LOCATION AND VIEW

The rectory for the former Saint Severinus church is located near the center of Hapert and is listed in the national monument register as the "Belhuis." This name is derived from the wooden, square bell tower with bronze bell on the high gable roof.

The central location near the village center and next to the cemetery ensures a quiet living environment. The view is particularly diverse and green-tinted. The deep front garden around the stately driveway is full of mature greenery. Absolute eye-catchers are the monumental beech trees next to the wrought iron entrance gate and beside the villa.


HAPERT AND SURROUNDINGS

Kempendorp Hapert is part of the municipality of Bladel, together with Casteren, Dalem, Hoogeloon, and Netersel. It has ancient roots: traces of prehistoric settlements have been found, it is mentioned in a charter in 710, and the medieval village has been called Hapert since the twelfth century. In addition to the "Belhuis," there are several other monuments, including the Korenmolen from 1896.

Today, the village is a strong economic engine in the already bustling Brainport metropolitan region. The VDL Groep made a significant contribution to this when founder Van der Leegte moved his industry from Eindhoven to Hapert in the 1960s. In 2014, Bladel was already among the ten strongest economic municipalities in the Netherlands. There is a lot of activity, especially at the large-scale Kempisch Bedrijvenpark near the A67 motorway.

The rural area also has nature and beautiful landscapes: including the Boswachterij De Kempen, Cartierheide, and Hapertse Heide. There are numerous cycling and hiking trails, which are also frequented by guests from Landal Het Vennenbos bungalow park. Particularly special is the accessible Waterpark Hapert, where reed beds and marsh forests ensure clean and living water in the Groote Beerze stream.

SUSTAINABILITY

No expense has been spared to fully transform the villa into a sustainable masterpiece. In the technical room of the detached garage, a heat pump has been carefully installed to provide underfloor heating and cooling throughout the villa, ensuring a constant indoor climate 365 days a year. Additionally, an advanced air handling unit by Burgers Ergon has been implemented to keep the villa free from particulate matter and pollen.

To optimize sustainability, all facades, floors, and roofs have been insulated with high-quality materials. Insulated glass has been used throughout the villa, not only increasing energy efficiency but also significantly enhancing comfort levels. These thoughtful improvements elevate the villa to a new level of luxury and sustainability, making it not just a house but a pioneering home.

Heating:
Heat is generated by a heat pump with a heating capacity of 19.2 kW, boasting a COP value of 4.08. From an efficiency standpoint, the heat pump has been selected to meet approximately 70% of the total heating demand. In case of very low outdoor temperatures, the remaining demand is supplemented by a gas-fired HR boiler. In emergencies, the gas-fired boiler can also meet the entire heating demand. The energy for the heat pump is extracted from the earth using a closed loop system with a capacity of 3.1 m³/h. The water cooled in the heat pump is reinjected into the ground.

The ground floor is equipped with underfloor heating, while on the first and second floors, low-temperature heating (LTH) via individually controllable radiators has been chosen.

Ventilation:
The air handling unit, located on the second floor, ensures complete ventilation of the villa, with a chosen 2.5-fold air exchange. The practically imperceptible sound level is lower than 30 dB(A). Both the supply and exhaust sides of the air handling unit are equipped with high-efficiency air filters, class F7, capturing 85% of dust particles ? 0.4 ?m, filtering out all fine dust particles. The unit also features a cross-flow heat exchanger with bypass for energy recovery from exhaust air. If necessary, the air is reheated by a water-fed heat exchanger. Variable-speed supply and exhaust fans ensure the correct air capacity transport.

The high-speed cross-flow heat exchanger achieves an efficiency of 84%. To ensure completely draft-free airflow into the various rooms in the villa, Trox high-induction swirl and linear diffusers, type RFD and VSD35 respectively, are used. The ventilation system is linked to the three existing gas fireplaces. When one or more gas fireplaces are activated, the supply and exhaust airflow rates are adjusted to maintain a slight positive pressure in the respective room.

Cooling:
The entire villa's cooling is provided by groundwater. A heat exchanger separates the water from the source and the cooling water in the house. During cooling demand, ventilation air is cooled, and the underfloor heating is switched to floor cooling. This provides 67 W/m² of cooling power, while only requiring a maximum of 0.55 kW for cold generation.

Control System:
The system is controlled by a digital control system called "Top Control Vision" by Priva. The software is equipped for both local and remote modem communication. The system can be remotely operated by the user via the modem, and in case of malfunctions, remote analysis can be performed by the relevant maintenance company.

Operation and data readings are carried out in a fully digital environment. A 12.1-inch TFT touchscreen panel is available in the house for the user, displaying status updates and measurements. Desired values and settings can also be adjusted via the screen.
