a more than unique object! this is a completely renovated, refurbished and extended brabant long-façade farm with a thatched roof from the 18th century which has been designated as a national monument. everything has been taken care of, resulting in a comfortable home in a monumental jacket. for example, the facades have been insulated and the thatch has been applied to insulated roof panels. on the ground floor, the floor has been insulated and fitted with underfloor heating. the spacious plot (3610 m²) has a stately driveway and a beautifully landscaped garden with pond, beautiful sight lines, heated swimming pool and a large guesthouse with kitchen and sauna. there is ample parking space on site and the plot is completely fenced with an electric gate to the street at the front on both the left and right sides.
layout
billiard room
on the right side of the house there is an attractive and authentic former living room which now serves as a pool table room. what an atmosphere! a real gentleman's room with a beautiful mantelpiece and renovated original oak floor. the portal with the original front door and meter cupboard connects to this space. an extra bedroom/work or hobby room has been created by means of a modern glass wall.
garden portal
the frequently used rear entrance is designed as a glass portal hall with beautiful storage wall/furniture and through this portal you enter the kitchen diner.
kitchen/dining room
this kitchen has a hard stone floor with underfloor heating (belgian blue), which material can be found in the countertop and various washbasin units in the house. this floor continues over a large part of the ground floor, alternating with wooden floorboards (oak). a sink island screens the dining area from the u-shaped kitchen unit, which is equipped with all modern luxuries. there is a dishwasher, steam oven, combination microwave, american fridge, warming oven, baking tray, quooker, large 5-burner gas stove and extractor hood in beech wood cabinet walls.
lounge area
from the kitchen/dining room, through a hard glass door, you enter a separate, but openly connected to the living room, sitting area. from here, the hall with stairs to the sleeping floor is accessible. a wonderfully cozy place to read a book!
storage room
in the middle of the house, various spaces have been created in a loft-like manner. two spaces are furnished as a pantry, one space is the laundry room and there is a space with a toilet with an entrance hall with a sink.
living room
on the left side of the house there is a fantastic living room with sitting area that can be closed off with glass doors with the rest of the house. the living room has a modern fireplace, type tunnel fireplace. the fireplace is like an island in the room and you can walk all the way around it. on the other side is a section where there is room for another sitting area or a large dining table. from here you have an amazing view of the beautifully landscaped garden, which can be reached through french doors.
in the living room you can really take in the original trusses because they contrast beautifully with the sleek plastered walls. you also have a beautiful view of the upper sleeping floor from the living room, because part of the first floor has been opened up as a vide.
1st floor
the floor is accessible via a closed hall with fixed staircase. from the vide you can partially look into the living room and the lounge/sitting area. on this floor there are three bedrooms and an extensive bathroom. this bathroom has a bath, walk-in shower, double washbasin in furniture and a hanging toilet. all three bedrooms have air conditioning and are equipped with a beautiful wooden floor that was once in a church! in addition, at the end of the landing/vide there is a study, which is in 'open connection' with the living room below.
loft
storage space located in the point of the roof on which the air conditioning units are mounted and accessible via a separate hatch.
guest house
