A Characteristic Gem in the Heart of Sprundel

Once in a while, a house comes on the market that instantly captures your heart. This beautiful, characteristic family home at Sint Janstraat 125 is one of them.

The size of the living room will greatly surprise you—no less than approx. 60 m². Cooking and having breakfast takes place in the atmospheric kitchen-diner. Would you like to work from home? There is a pleasant office space on the ground floor. On the first floor, there are 4 spacious bedrooms and no fewer than 2 bathrooms.

The property sits on a plot totaling 2,873 m². The garden is green and wonderfully private. At the rear, you experience the feeling of living in the countryside. If that’s not enjoyment, what is!

The house is centrally located in Sprundel, just a stone’s throw from schools, shops, and public amenities.

This home is more than just a house—it is a home with character, space, and a story. A hidden gem you simply must see. Schedule a viewing soon and let yourself be surprised.


Ground Floor Including Atmospheric Living Room, Kitchen-Diner, and Office
Upon arriving at the house, we park the car in the driveway. We walk towards the front door and are immediately charmed by the characteristic appearance of the house. The door opens and we are warmly welcomed: “Come right in.”

At the entrance, you will find the meter cupboard. As we step through the door into the hall, we instantly understand why the current owners fell in love with the house back then. What stunning tall stained-glass windows! The sunlight pours in phenomenally here. Via the staircase, the first floor is accessible, but first, we continue to the living room.

Upon entering, the generous layout immediately stands out. The surprisingly large living room of approx. 60 m² offers ample space for cozy family moments. Again, those charming stained-glass windows, high ceilings, and characteristic mantels. Dining with the family takes place at the large dining table at the rear of this space. From here, the garden is accessible via French doors. On a sunny day, the doors can be opened wide so that the ‘outside’ becomes part of the ‘inside.’ The garden is also accessible from the long central hallway of the house, where the toilet room is also located.

Cooking Delight in the Kitchen-Diner
The kitchen-diner is the beating heart of the home—a place where you cook, bake, have breakfast, and catch up at the table. The kitchen is done in a country style that perfectly matches the character of the house. The corner layout offers plenty of storage and workspace, with a beautiful natural stone countertop. As for appliances, the kitchen is fully equipped: a large 7-burner gas stove with 2 ovens (and warming drawer), an extractor hood, a dishwasher, a microwave, a sink, and an electric boiler. Large windows bring in lots of natural light, making it a wonderful place for both cooking and living.

In the pantry, you can store more than enough items, as well as in the cellar, which is accessible from the kitchen. The kitchen also houses the washing machine and dryer connections.

Office Space on the Ground Floor
For those who like to work from home, this house offers a beautiful office space at the front on the ground floor—a bright room with a lovely mantel.


Large Bedrooms on the First Floor
We return to the hall and go upstairs via the staircase. We arrive at the spacious landing with a gallery, where you again enjoy the beautiful tall stained-glass windows.

On this floor, there are 4 spacious bedrooms, each bright and comfortable. And with 2 bathrooms, there is always plenty of privacy and convenience for the whole family.

At the front, there are 2 bedrooms: one with a dormer window and built-in wardrobe, and one with air conditioning and access to a charming balcony. The 3rd bedroom is located on the side of the house and also has air conditioning. At the rear of the house is the large master bedroom—a bright, relaxing space with a true hotel feel. Thanks to the double French doors to the balcony, each day here begins with a view of greenery. Various built-in wardrobes provide neat storage for your clothes and belongings. The air conditioning ensures a cool, comfortable sleep, even on warm summer nights.

Directly adjacent to the bedroom, you will find the ensuite bathroom, stylishly finished and fully equipped. It features a walk-in shower (with rain shower, hand shower, and thermostat tap), a jacuzzi (with hand shower and thermostat tap), a double washbasin with cabinet, a wall-mounted toilet, and a designer radiator. In short, a place to retreat, relax, and recharge.

On the landing, there are fixed cupboards, as well as a separate toilet room.

The 2nd bathroom is also accessible from the landing. This bathroom is smartly laid out and wonderfully light thanks to a skylight that lets in natural daylight. This space is ideal for guests or a larger family—there is always enough room for everyone to get ready for a new day. It is equipped with a walk-in shower (with rain shower, hand shower, and thermostat tap), a whirlpool bath (with hand shower and thermostat tap), a double washbasin with cabinet, and a designer radiator.


Open Attic on the Second Floor
From the 2nd bathroom, the attic is accessible. It is a large open space with 2 skylights, offering plenty of storage space. Here you will also find the two high-efficiency central heating combi boilers (Intergas, 2018 and 2014).


Spacious Garden
From the house, you step right into the first part of the garden: an atmospheric terrace, a neat lawn, and as a real eye-catcher, an impressive oak tree. At the back stands a wooden garden shed, perfect for storing garden tools. It has electricity and a covered area where you can sit sheltered.

Turning the corner of the garden, you are surprised by a large plot that is entirely part of your own garden. Here you enjoy complete privacy, a spacious lawn, and a beautiful unobstructed view over the meadows. A long dining table invites you to enjoy endless summer evenings with family and friends.

The garden room, built in 2025, is the showpiece of the garden. Thanks to the glass sliding walls, it is a wonderful place to relax all year round, even when the weather is less favorable. Attached to the garden room is a practical storage space.

Through a gate at the back of the garden, you can access the next part of the garden. Here you will find another large lawn, various (fruit) trees, a wooden garden shed with electricity connection, and the water treatment system. The garden has its own well, pump, and ring irrigation system, making watering the plot simple and sustainable. Through a wide 10-meter gate, you can also access the property from the street. The entire garden is neatly fenced.


Garage and Driveway
This property includes a large detached brick garage, ideally suited as a hobby space. The garage has roof insulation, electricity, water, a utility sink, connections for washing equipment, and the inverter for the solar panels. The attic offers additional storage space.

Living in Sprundel
Although Sprundel has just under 5,000 residents, it offers many facilities: a bakery, butcher, primary school, several restaurants, various shops, and sports facilities. For more extensive shopping, you can go to Etten-Leur, St. Willebrord, or Rucphen. Fun fact: according to the KNVB, Sprundel has the best football pub in the Netherlands. The beating heart of the village is the multifunctional center De Trapkes, located in the Joannes de Doper church. Sprundel is part of the municipality of Rucphen and is the oldest of the five church villages. The first written mention of Sprundel dates back to 992. Nature lovers will feel at home here—the village is surrounded by varied natural areas, including forests, marshes, heathlands, and fens. Think of the Rucphense Forests, De Lokker, and De Pannenhoef, with numerous cycling, walking, and horse-riding trails. The A58 motorway takes you quickly to Etten-Leur, Breda, Roosendaal, or Bergen op Zoom. In 30–45 minutes, you can also reach Antwerp or Rotterdam. By public transport, the nearest train station is in Etten-Leur.


Sales Conditions
Asbestos Clause
For homes built before July 1, 1993, it was common practice to use asbestos-containing materials in, for example, (smoke) flues, roofs, partition walls, facade panels, near heating and hot water appliances, and in floor coverings. The buyer acknowledges that asbestos-containing materials may be present. The buyer is aware that special measures must be taken under environmental laws when removing asbestos-containing materials and indemnifies the seller from all liability arising from the presence or removal of asbestos in the property.

Aging Clause
The aging clause will be included in the purchase agreement for this property because it is more than 95 years old. This means that the construction quality standards are significantly lower than for new homes. The buyer cannot claim that this property deviates from current building regulations.

Measurement Instruction NEN2580
The measurement instruction is based on NEN2580 and is intended to apply a more uniform method of measuring to provide an indication of the usable area. It does not exclude differences in measurement results due to interpretation differences, rounding, or limitations during measurement. The main rule remains: “what you see is what you buy,” and the property information is of lower priority.

Legally Binding Purchase Agreement Only After Signing
An oral agreement between a private seller and a private buyer is not legally binding. A legally binding purchase exists only once both parties have signed the purchase agreement. This follows from Article 7:2 of the Dutch Civil Code. A confirmation of an oral agreement by e-mail or the sending of a draft purchase agreement is also not considered a legally binding agreement.

Deposit or Bank Guarantee
As Agnes Tomesen Makelaardij is affiliated with the NVM, the standard NVM purchase agreement (as determined by the NVM, VBO, the Consumer Association, and Vereniging Eigen Huis) is used. This agreement includes the standard requirement for a deposit or bank guarantee equal to 10% of the purchase price.
