This 1930s semi-detached house for sale in Vught has four bedrooms, a level garden and a garden office, five minutes by bike from ’s-Hertogenbosch.
It was designed by an architect and still has the details of its period: a vestibule at the entrance, an en-suite room at the front, wooden floors throughout. Behind that sits a modern, extended kitchen, 189 m² of living space and a 411 m² plot. The roof, walls and floor are insulated, and energy label A means the house has been updated rather than just kept as it was. For a family looking at Dutch real estate in North Brabant, this is a house that works from day one.
The House: 1930s Character with a Modern Foundation
You come in through the vestibule into a wide hallway. From here you reach the living room, the utility room, a modern toilet and the stairs. The front room is the one that shows off the period best, with the kind of detailing you rarely find in newer builds.
The living room runs into a smaller sitting space with a fireplace, and then on to the kitchen at the back. That sequence matters. You can stand at the kitchen island and see straight through the house to the garden, and a parent cooking can still keep an eye on children in the sitting room. Each space has its own feel, but nobody is shut away.
Upstairs there are three bright bedrooms with large windows. The main bathroom has a walk-in shower, a bath and a double vanity, finished in large tiles with a concrete look, and the toilet is separate. The two rear bedrooms share a second bathroom with a walk-in shower. The attic is a big open room with daylight and air conditioning. Buyers could turn it into a playroom or studio, or add further bedrooms.
Kitchen, Garden, Garage and Office
The kitchen was extended towards the garden and has skylights, an oak worktop and a stainless steel American fridge with ice maker. There is room for a large dining table by the sliding doors. A utility room opens off the kitchen, so laundry and clutter stay out of sight.
The back garden is green and private, with a Japanese maple that throws shade on hot afternoons. It sits on a single level, which the listing notes is uncommon for this street. That makes it easy to use: space for a trampoline, a lawn for football, or a long table for summer dinners.
At the end of the garden is a separate office, handy if you work from home or want a studio or hobby room away from the main house. The detached garage can take a car, bikes or a workbench. At the front, a deep garden gives some privacy from the street, and the double driveway fits two cars.
Living in Vught: Between the Heide and Den Bosch
The house stands on a wide avenue lined with mature trees and substantial homes. The centre of Vught and the historic centre of ’s-Hertogenbosch (Den Bosch) are each about five minutes by bike, so shops, cafés, restaurants and train connections are close. Both the Vughtse Heide and the Bossche Broek are within walking distance. After work you can be on heathland or among the water meadows in a few minutes.
If you are considering a home near ’s-Hertogenbosch, Vught is a popular choice. It is greener and quieter than the city, but you do not give up the amenities.
Getting There: Airports and Drive Times
The A2, N65 and A59 are all close, which suits commuters heading for Eindhoven, Utrecht or Tilburg. Eindhoven Airport is roughly 30 to 40 minutes by car, and Schiphol is about an hour and a quarter depending on traffic. For anyone relocating to the Netherlands, that gives international flights without living beside a runway.
