Muilkerk 144271 BK DussenDussen

On the edge of the village of Dussen stands this former rectory, beautifully redesigned by an architect. The house includes a fully equipped outbuilding, fitted out as a guest residence with an adjoining barn, plus a dream of a garden with a luxury natural swimming pond. From the garden there are uninterrupted, panoramic views over the meadows (almost 3 hectares), which can optionally be purchased. The spacious entrance hall opens to the full-depth living room on the left and a playroom on the right, while the garden-facing designer kitchen connects to the utility room and a second entrance on the ground floor. Upstairs there are four generous bedrooms, one with a large dormer window, a luxury bathroom and a separate toilet. There is also an attic for storage. Dussen is a Brabant village with a long history. Its skyline is defined by Dussen Castle, a medieval stronghold that still radiates the atmosphere of centuries past. The village provides all daily amenities, including a supermarket, primary school, sports clubs and an active community life. For nature lovers there are the vast floodplains and dikes along the Bergsche Maas, as well as the nearby Biesbosch National Park. Its central location is ideal: Gorinchem can be reached in 15 minutes, ’s-Hertogenbosch or Breda within half an hour, and the A27 and A59 provide quick access to Utrecht and Rotterdam. Gross internal volume: 1,070 m³ Living space: 262 m² (including guesthouse of 39 m²) Plot size: 2,210 m² (optional meadow of 29,100 m² available for purchase) Year built: 1880 Layout – Ground floor: The entrance is centrally located behind the stately front door. The hallway, with its striking metal staircase, links the various rooms. To the left is the bright and atmospheric living room, with large windows, a modern poured floor and aluminium frames with HR++ glazing overlooking the driveway. A contemporary wood stove adds extra comfort on winter days. To the right is a second room, currently used as a playroom, but equally suitable as a study or fifth bedroom. The heart of the home is the contemporary kitchen extension. Expansive glass walls provide panoramic views of the garden, blurring the line between indoors and outdoors. The generous Bulthaup kitchen with cooking island, high-end built-in appliances and space for a long dining table is the natural gathering place for family and friends. From here, you step directly out onto the terrace. Also on the ground floor are a cloakroom, toilet, storage with fitted cupboards and a side entrance to the front garden. Underfloor heating runs throughout the ground floor. First floor: The first floor offers four bright, spacious bedrooms. The luxury bathroom features a freestanding bathtub, walk-in shower and double washbasin unit. There is also a separate toilet. Both the bathroom and toilet benefit from underfloor heating. The bedrooms are finished with marmoleum flooring. Highlights: This striking home with a rich history was originally built in the late 19th century and underwent an extensive renovation and extension in 2019, transforming it into a superb family residence. The kitchen extension is a true showpiece, with its glass walls creating a seamless connection to the garden. Indoors you enjoy light and space, outdoors awaits a landscaped green oasis with terraces and a swimming pond. Here, style, comfort and outdoor living come together. The garden fully embraces outdoor living. At the rear, the natural swimming pond forms a captivating centrepiece, surrounded by terraces, a natural filtration system and mature planting that ensures privacy and seclusion. It is a garden designed for relaxation: cooling summer swims, long evenings dining on one of the Schellevis terraces, or simply enjoying the views across the meadows. The garden is equipped with an irrigation system. The outbuilding mirrors the style of the house, combining a fully equipped guesthouse with a spacious barn. This provides comfortable accommodation as well as practical storage space for bicycles, tools or hobbies—offering both hospitality and functionality. Naturally, the guesthouse includes a kitchenette, bathroom and underfloor heating. What makes this former rectory truly special is the way history and modern comfort are woven together. The solid foundation of late 19th-century architecture is beautifully complemented by high-quality renovations and a striking modern extension. The glass façades connect the house to the garden, allowing the views and seasons to become part of daily life. Combined with the generous floor area, durable aluminium frames with HR++ glazing, a versatile playroom/home office, four bedrooms and a luxury bathroom, this is a home ready for the future. Choosing Muilkerk 14 means choosing a place where authenticity and contemporary comfort go hand in hand, where life flows effortlessly between indoors and outdoors, and where every day feels like coming home..
