Grintweg 18

Peace and space – that is what characterizes this beautiful detached farmhouse with shutters at the front and a thatched roof (2023). The moment you step inside, the atmosphere greets you. The living room features wooden beams, stable windows, an open fireplace, and a wood-burning stove – pure nostalgia. Sleeping and working on the ground floor is possible. On the first floor, you’ll find two bedrooms and the bathroom. The garden surrounding the house gives you a wonderful countryside feeling.

This unique property in the outskirts of Breda may only come on the market once. Step inside and be surprised!


Ground floor – spacious living and nostalgic kitchen
Although in the countryside it is customary to enter a house through the back, we’ll go ‘properly’ through the front door. Welcome! The hallway already breathes atmosphere with its rustic tiled floor and wooden beams.

A small step down brings us into the living room, once again featuring nostalgic wooden beams and trusses. A sense of spaciousness is the first impression here—not only because of its actual size, but also thanks to the French doors to the terrace and the many stable-style windows all around.

There are two sitting areas, one of them by the cozy fireplace with mantel. A wood-burning stove also provides extra warmth and ambiance. A nice feature here is the connection to the outdoor terrace. Open the doors and feel the sunlight or a gentle summer breeze.

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner take place at the long dining table. Eating together, discussing the day, enjoying drinks, or playing a board game—this spot is perfect for it.

The kitchen cannot be overlooked; it has a prominent place in the living area. It is equipped with upper and lower cabinets, drawers, a freestanding dishwasher, oven, fridge/freezer combination, double sink with drainer, and a tiled countertop. The cook stirs quietly at the kitchen island. Nostalgic in appearance, yet modern in use, with a 5-burner ceramic cooktop.

In the adjacent utility room, you’ll find the washing machine and dryer, extra storage space, and a deep sink. A built-in cupboard houses the central heating boiler (HR+, 2021). This room also includes a tiled guest toilet with washbasin.

From the utility room you can access the covered terrace and garden.

Sleeping and working on the ground floor is also possible. From the hallway, both the bedroom (with built-in closets) and the office/bedroom are accessible, both situated at the front of the house.


First floor with two bedrooms
Back in the hallway, we take the stairs to the first floor, where there are two bedrooms and a bathroom.

The landing is very spacious and features an open void. Natural light floods in through a dormer window and skylight. Ample storage space is also available on the landing.

Each bedroom has its own character. The largest bedroom has dormer windows at both the front and back, built-in wardrobes, and access to the attic. This room could potentially be divided into two.

The second bedroom is at the rear of the house with a skylight. Sleeping here is also possible on the loft area, accessible by a small staircase.

The tiled bathroom features underfloor heating and is equipped with a bathtub (with hand shower and thermostat), a shower (rain shower and handheld with thermostat), a wide sink, and a toilet.


Spacious garden with several terraces
The large garden surrounds the property. Multiple (covered) terraces have been created, so residents can choose sun or shade at any time of day. What a sense of freedom and space! A large lawn, an old water well, free-ranging chickens, and mature trees complete the rural picture.

From Kluisstraat, the property can be accessed via a side gate. Gates on either side of the house also lead to the front.


Outbuildings
The large brick barn has abundant natural light, wooden beams, traditional stable windows, a double door at the front, and three side doors. Water, electricity, and its own fuse box (6 circuits, 2 RCDs) are present.

The wooden barn, attached to the covered terrace, is divided into multiple rooms with electricity. Storage space is abundant here! The covered terrace can also serve as a carport for multiple vehicles.

Breda
In a city like Breda, you can count on having all amenities within easy reach—such as schools, daycare centers, daily shopping, and sports facilities—no matter which characterful neighborhood you choose to live in. Living in Breda means enjoying the Burgundian lifestyle. The charming historic city center is full of picturesque streets with cozy cafés, lunch spots, and excellent restaurants. And thanks to the wide and attractive range of shops, you won’t need to leave the city for a great day of shopping.

Culture lovers will feel right at home in Breda. The city offers fascinating museums, such as the Stedelijk Museum Breda, the historic Begijnhof, and a variety of lively festivals. Think of the BredaPhoto Festival—the largest photography festival in the Benelux—or the famous Jazz Festival. The city center of Breda is vibrant, yet the surrounding area also offers plenty of green oases of peace and quiet. Take the Mastbos, for example, one of the oldest managed forests in the Netherlands (planted in 1515), named after the many pine trees used for ship masts. Or go cycling or hiking in the Liesbos, the Ulvenhout forests, or the Teteringse Heide.

Breda’s central location makes it highly accessible. Situated along the A16, A27, and A58 motorways, the city is easy to reach by car, and also very well connected by public transport. Breda has two train stations and an extensive bus network.


Sales conditions
Asbestos clause
For homes built before July 1, 1993, there is a risk that asbestos-containing materials were used in (smoke) flues, roofing, partition walls, façade panels, near heating and hot water systems, and in flooring. The seller is aware of asbestos materials present (on the roof of the carport). Any risk associated with this passes to the buyer upon purchase and is recorded in the sales contract.

Age clause
Because the property is more than 55 years old, an age clause will be included in the sales contract. This means that the building quality requirements are considerably lower than those for new construction. Buyers cannot rely on the home conforming to current building regulations.

Measurement instruction NEN2580
The measurement instruction is based on NEN2580 to provide a uniform method for measuring usable floor area. However, differences in outcomes cannot be fully excluded due to interpretation, rounding, or measurement limitations. The principle remains: “what you see is what you buy” and the object information is of secondary importance.

Legally binding purchase agreement only after signing
A verbal agreement between a private seller and private buyer is not legally binding. A purchase is only valid once both parties have signed the contract, as required by Dutch Civil Code Article 7:2. Email confirmation or receiving a draft contract does not constitute a legally binding agreement.

Deposit or bank guarantee
Because Agnes Tomesen Makelaardij is a member of the NVM, the standard purchase contract is used as established by NVM, VBO, the Consumers’ Association, and the Homeowners’ Association. This contract requires a deposit or bank guarantee of 10% of the purchase price.

Sales documentation
This documentation has been compiled with care, but for accuracy we are largely dependent on third parties. Therefore, neither the seller nor we accept liability.
