Ground Floor with Spacious Living Room and En-Suite Kitchen
Upon arriving at this property, we immediately experience the tranquility and convenience of country living. We park the car on our own enclosed terrain and walk to the entrance of the house. Upon entering the hallway, we have access to the office, the half-tiled toilet with wall closet and sink, the first floor, and the living room. Under the stairs, we find the installation site for the underfloor heating.
We proceed to the living room. What a delightful space this is! The first thing you'll notice is the sense of space and light, thanks to the many windows. There is also a fireplace for added ambiance and coziness, and through double sliding doors, you can access the garden.
The kitchen is in open connection with the living room. This wonderful living space offers ample opportunities to prepare an extensive meal for family or friends. The kitchen is equipped with plenty of drawers and cabinets, an induction cooktop with a large extractor hood, dishwasher, combination microwave and oven, refrigerator, and an island with a breakfast bar.
From the kitchen, we have access to the utility room. The utility room has a sink and provides access to the garden. From the utility room, there is also access to the ground floor bathroom.
The bathroom features a sink with vanity, a shower cabin with a thermostat faucet, a shower panel with side jets and a hand shower, a designer radiator, and a whirlpool bathtub.
First Floor with 3 Bedrooms and Modern Bathroom
We reach the first floor via a fixed staircase. From the spacious landing, we have access to three bedrooms, the modern bathroom, and the storage room.
The master bedroom is located on the side of the house and offers a wide view over the fields. The two other bedrooms are located on the other side of the landing. Due to the large windows, these rooms have pleasant light.
The bathroom on the first floor is finished with natural stone tiles and has a sink with vanity, wall closet, walk-in shower with hand shower, thermostat faucet, rain shower, and a designer radiator.
The storage room provides extra storage space and is well-suited for use as an extra wardrobe, for instance. Here is also the installation site for the air heat pump.
Garden with Carport, Storage, and Horse Stalls
The garden, which you can design to your own taste, offers plenty of possibilities for creating a lovely place. There is enough space to create multiple terraces and plant borders. The garden provides several spots where you can enjoy the sun or shade and, of course, for keeping animals.
The garden has a storage shed with a carport and two horse stalls. Due to the simple but solid construction of these horse stalls, it is easy to convert them into a large canopy, outdoor kitchen, or extra parking space. There is enough space under the carport to park two cars, and there is a charging station available. The storage shed has water and electricity connections.

Rural Area
Living in the countryside is a privilege. In the rural area around Etten-Leur, there are many opportunities to enjoy nature while still being close to the center with all its amenities.
To the north of Etten-Leur, you will find the "Westpolder," including the recreational area "Westpolderplas" and the "Leurse Haven" (a branch of the river Mark). The water flows into Etten-Leur. "De Turfvaart" is an intimate marina. Here you will also find the nature reserve "Kelsdonk," where you can take beautiful walks. Around Etten-Leur - clockwise - you come to the "Oostpolder." This polder is mainly agricultural, ideal for cycling and walking, but you must be able to handle an old-fashioned Dutch breeze.
To the east lies the Liesbos, connecting Etten-Leur with Prinsenbeek and Breda. It is the largest old summer oak forest in the Netherlands. The forest was once owned by the Oranges, who used it as a hunting ground, but nowadays, you can safely let your dog off the leash.
To the south of Etten-Leur, there is the municipal forest "De Kogelvanger" and a bit further in the direction of Rijsbergen lies the "Pannenhoef," with forests, ponds, heath, and a swamp area.
In the countryside of Etten-Leur, you will find a lot of peace and space. However, there are always good connecting roads (mostly N-roads) leading to the center of Etten-Leur and to the A58 and A16. In no time, you can be on the highway to Breda, Roosendaal, or Antwerp.
Living in Etten-Leur
Wherever you live in Etten-Leur, daily amenities are always within reach. From schools (primary and secondary), daycare centers, and after-school care to artisan bakeries, butcheries, and supermarkets for daily groceries. Furthermore, the sports and exercise offerings within the municipality of Etten-Leur are extensive. Public transport is well organized. There are good bus connections between the districts within the city, and there is an NS station with an Intercity connection towards Roosendaal or Breda. If you prefer to travel by car, you are always on the highway within fifteen minutes. Extensive shopping is possible in Etten-Leur to your heart's content. Large chains are represented, but the center also has many other nice and unique shops/boutiques. Want to grab a bite to eat or drink in between or afterward? That is possible in one of the many lunchrooms and restaurants. Etten-Leur is vibrant. The event calendar is also richly filled. Add to that the cinema and cultural center De Nobelaer, and you come to the conclusion that there is always something to do in Etten-Leur. Love nature? Then discover the beautiful nearby nature reserves on foot or by bike. Etten-Leur also has a cozy marina with a direct connection to the waterways towards Breda, Oosterhout, the Biesbosch, Dinteloord, and the Volkerak.
Sales Conditions:
Asbestos Clause
For houses built before July 1, 1993, there is a risk that asbestos-containing materials were used in, among other things, (smoke)channels, roof (covering), partition walls, facade panels, near heating and hot water appliances, and in the floor covering. The seller is not aware that asbestos-containing materials have been used; any risk of this will be transferred to the buying party after the sale, which will be recorded in the purchase agreement.
Old Age Clause
The old age clause will be included in the purchase agreement for this house because the property is more than 45 years old, which means that the building quality requirements are significantly lower than those for new houses. Therefore, the buyer cannot claim that this house deviates from current building regulations.
Measurement Instruction NEN2580
The measurement instruction is based on NEN2580. The measurement instruction is intended to apply a more uniform way of measuring to provide an indication of the usable area. The measurement instruction does not completely exclude differences in measurement outcomes, for example, due to interpretation differences, rounding, or limitations in performing the measurement. The principle remains; "what you see is what you get," and the object information is of lower priority.
Legally Valid Purchase Agreement Only After Signing
An oral agreement between the private seller and the private buyer is not legally valid. This means that a purchase is only legally valid when the private seller and the private buyer have signed the purchase agreement. This follows from Article 7:2 of the Dutch Civil Code. Confirmation of the oral agreement by email or a sent draft of the purchase agreement is also not seen as a legally valid agreement.
Deposit or Bank Guarantee
Since Agnes Tomesen Makelaardij is affiliated with the NVM, the model purchase agreement as established by the NVM, VBO, the Consumers' Association, and the Homeowners Association is used. In this purchase agreement, it is standardly included that a deposit or bank guarantee of 10% of the purchase price must be provided.
Sales Documentation
This documentation has been compiled with care by us; however, for the accuracy of the information provided, we are generally highly dependent on third parties, and therefore, the seller and we accept no liability.
