Heuvel 22

A unique opportunity to live in a distinctive, listed villa in the heart of Geldrop town centre. The villa comprises two exceptionally spacious residential units, one of which is now available for sale, offering no less than 234 m² of living space.

The ground-floor flat is spread over two storeys and stands out for its impressive spaces, high ceilings and the unique combination of historic charm and comfortable living right in the town centre.
The property also features additional rooms on the upper floor which can be used for a variety of purposes, or as guest accommodation, for example.
This distinctive and recognisable landmark has a rich history and was originally built by the textile manufacturer Van Den Heuvel. The property exudes French allure, luxury and character.
A unique feature is the rear plot, which includes a private back garden with a raised terrace and private parking – something rarely found in the town centre and which, moreover, offers plenty of possibilities in terms of layout.

The property at Heuvel 22 has the status of a listed building and is therefore a recognisable feature of Geldrop’s historic streetscape. In the municipal inventory of listed buildings, Heuvel 22 is designated as a listed residential property and falls within the category of townhouses. The original property dates from around 1900. Living in a municipal monument means living in a building of exceptional cultural and historical value, where its characteristic appearance is cherished and protected for the future.

Architectural features and sustainability:
The property was traditionally built around 1900 and has been renovated and made more sustainable over the years. The roof was completely renovated around 2004–2006, with new slates laid and the roof insulated with glass wool. The meranti hardwood window frames are fitted with HR++ glazing.
The ground-floor flat is heated by a combination of underfloor heating and radiators, controlled by a gas-fired high-efficiency central heating boiler dating from 2007. Partly thanks to the sustainability measures carried out, the flat has an energy rating of B.
High ceilings, large windows, a characteristic decorative fireplace and the use of sustainable, high-quality materials define the unique character of this property.

Layout

Ground floor
The apartment is entered via the striking communal entrance hall, finished with rare Bleu Azur marble flooring.
The entrance hall provides access to two separate toilets, a multifunctional room at the front and the spacious living room. In the living room, the authentic decorative fireplace is a real eye-catcher. The high ceilings, large windows and double patio doors ensure a pleasant flow of natural light and enhance the spacious character of the room.

The very spacious kitchen can be fitted out entirely to your own taste and offers plenty of scope for creating a contemporary kitchen layout. Adjacent to this are the utility room and a separate laundry room with connections for white goods. Immediately to the right is a room which, thanks to its size and location, can be used for a variety of purposes, such as an office, hobby room or bedroom.
In addition, this floor features a third multi-purpose room, offering plenty of scope to use it as you wish, for example as a dining room, hobby room, guest room or to create additional sleeping space.

The ground floor is largely finished with an anthracite-coloured tiled floor.
The long corridor with a ramp forms part of the communal area and also provides access to the flat, the back garden and a very spacious cellar, which offers practical additional storage space. The ramp makes the property accessible to people with reduced mobility, ensuring it is suitable for all stages of life.

First floor
The first floor is reached via the staircase. It currently comprises a spacious bedroom, a separate dressing room and the bathroom. The spacious bathroom is fully tiled and fitted with a washbasin, toilet, shower and decorative radiator. The combination of living on the ground floor and a separate (sleeping) area on the first floor provides a pleasant separation between different living functions.
Adjoining the hallway leading to the bedroom is a flat roof which offers scope for further development, for example by creating a roof terrace or an extra bedroom. It is also ideal for accommodating third parties, such as a nanny, a carer or nursing staff.

Outdoor space
The raised terrace is accessible from both the living room and the kitchen via French doors. The classic staircase forms a lovely connection to the lower-lying back garden.
The garden is largely laid with clinker paving and offers the new owner the opportunity to redesign it to their own taste, subject to the applicable conditions. These include, amongst other things, the obligation to create at least 8 m² of green space and four parking spaces. The positioning of the communal parking spaces, waste containers and cycle shed must be determined in further consultation with the residents of number 22a, but the available space is ideally suited to this purpose.
This will create a practical outdoor space combining parking, green areas and a private terrace right in the centre of Geldrop. Furthermore, there is the option to purchase additional land, which increases the flexibility for a more spacious garden layout and/or extra parking.

the common property has yet to be definitively determined;
* There is a Owners’ Association (VvE). The amount of the periodic VvE contribution has yet to

Location and surroundings
The location can certainly be described as exceptionally central. De Heuvel is situated right in the heart of Geldrop, meaning a wide range of shops, specialist retailers, supermarkets, outdoor cafés and restaurants are all within a short walking distance. You therefore do not need to use your car for daily shopping, a cup of coffee on a terrace or a visit to the town centre.

Geldrop also boasts an excellent range of amenities, including schools, childcare facilities, sports facilities and medical services. The surrounding area also has plenty to offer nature lovers and those seeking leisure activities. Various green spaces and attractive walking and cycling routes are easily accessible from Geldrop.

Accessibility is also excellent. Geldrop has its own railway station, and the nearby major roads provide quick access to Eindhoven, Helmond and the surrounding towns. This location thus combines the convenience and vibrancy of living in the town centre with excellent access to Eindhoven Airport and the Brainport region, including the High-Tech Campus and ASML, just 10–15 km away.

In addition, the local council will be actively investing in the further development and quality improvement of the town centre in the coming years, which makes the property’s future value particularly attractive.
