Ground Floor – Bright Living Room, Office, and Kitchen-Diner: We drive up the driveway and take in the beautiful green surroundings—what a wonderfully peaceful place this is! We are welcomed by a peacock showing off its magnificent feathers. It’s immediately clear that nature and humans coexist here. We walk towards the front door and enter the spacious hall with a mezzanine. In the hall, there is the meter cupboard, a cloakroom area, and the fully tiled toilet with a floating toilet and a washbasin. From the hall, we go to the living room of about 51 m². The light greets us through the large windows with a lovely view of the large garden. Indoors is connected with outdoors when you open the sliding doors to the beautiful conservatory. On chilly days, you can enjoy the fireplace in the living room. Working from home is very feasible in this house because a spacious office adjoins the living room.

Enough space for a large family. From one of the bedrooms, you can access the spacious attic via a loft ladder.

On the side of the plot is a double gate, allowing easy access with a trailer, for example. There is also a gate from the garden to the house’s driveway and a gate to the adjacent communal grove. General: The house is quietly located on the edge of the forest (Liesbos) and within a short drive from both Etten-Leur and Breda.

The rural area around Etten-Leur offers many opportunities to enjoy nature while the center with all its amenities is still nearby. North of Etten-Leur, you will find the “Westpolder,” including the recreational area “Westpolderplas” and the “Leurse Haven” (a branch of the Mark River). The water flows into Etten-Leur. “De Turfvaart” is a genuine, albeit intimate, marina. You will also find the “Kelsdonk” nature reserve here, where you can take beautiful walks. Around Etten-Leur - clockwise - you enter the “Oostpolder.” This polder is mainly agricultural, beautiful for cycling and walking, but you must be prepared for a traditional Dutch wind. To the east lies the Liesbos, which connects Etten-Leur with Prinsenbeek and Breda. It is the largest old summer oak forest in the Netherlands. The forest was once owned by the House of Orange, who used it as a hunting ground, but today you can safely let your dog off the leash. South of Etten-Leur is the Etten-Leur municipal forest, “De Kogelvanger,” and further in the direction of Rijsbergen, you will find the “Pannenhoef,” with forests, fens, heathland, and a swamp area. In the countryside of Etten-Leur, you will find a lot of peace and space. But there are always good connecting roads (mostly N-roads) that lead to the center of Etten-Leur and the A58 and A16. In no time, you are on the highway to Breda, Roosendaal, or Antwerp. You are lucky to live in the countryside! 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 traditional bakeries, butcheries, and supermarkets for daily groceries. The sports and exercise offerings in Etten-Leur are also extensive. Public transport is well arranged. There are good bus connections between the neighborhoods within the city and a train station with an Intercity connection to Roosendaal or Breda. If you prefer to travel by car, you are always on the highway within fifteen minutes. You can shop extensively in Etten-Leur to your heart's content. Major chains are represented, but the center also has many other fun and unique shops/boutiques. Would y...
