Kerkstraat 45328 AB Rossum (GE)Rossum

Living with History in a Former Bakery Nestled on one of Rossum’s most picturesque streets, the charming Kerkstraat, at the foot of the Maasdijk, stands this remarkable semi-detached, L-shaped home, designated as a municipal monument. A property full of history, character, and an unexpectedly versatile layout, where authentic details blend seamlessly with modern-day comfort. This former bakery is a true eye-catcher. Its rendered façades with decorative block patterning and traditional Dutch clay-tiled roofs give the property an authentic appearance that perfectly complements its historic surroundings. The private south-facing garden, complete with a historic water well, provides a peaceful retreat where you can fully enjoy outdoor living. Layout – Front House The entrance leads into a central hallway, immediately revealing the property's unique layout. From here, a short staircase leads down to the kitchen. Renovated in recent years, this inviting kitchen is a warm and welcoming space where cooking and gathering naturally come together. A second staircase leads up to the living room at the front of the house, where you can enjoy beautiful views over the charming Kerkstraat. Both the kitchen and living room in the front house benefit from comfortable wall heating, ensuring a pleasant indoor climate throughout the year. The hallway also provides access to the toilet, the rear section of the house, and the staircase to the first floor. On the first floor of the front house is a spacious bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. From this bedroom, the loft storage area is also accessible. In addition, this floor offers a versatile extra room that can easily be adapted to suit your needs, whether as an additional bedroom, hobby room, artist's studio, or home office. It is currently used for storage. Layout – Rear House The rear section of the property can be accessed both internally and through its own private entrance, offering excellent flexibility for a home office, guest accommodation, multigenerational living, or an independent living space. The private entrance opens into a hallway leading to the kitchen in the rear house. This kitchen features underfloor heating and connects to a second, inviting living room. Wall heating provides additional comfort, while a beautiful original fireplace surround with a wood-burning fireplace creates a warm and characterful atmosphere. The authentic exposed timber-beamed ceiling further enhances the property's rural charm, making this an exceptionally cosy living space. The hallway also provides access to a practical utility/laundry room and the staircase to the first floor. Upstairs is a stunning, generously sized open space featuring impressive original timber beams that immediately reflect the building's rich history. Although this area still offers the opportunity to be finished according to modern preferences, it provides an excellent foundation for a spacious bedroom, hobby room, artist's studio, or home office. Preparations have already been made for a second bathroom, with plumbing connections for a toilet and washbasin already installed. Outdoor Living The enclosed rear garden enjoys a sunny south-facing position and offers excellent privacy. The historic water well is a beautiful reminder of the property's past and, together with the mature trees and established planting, creates a wonderfully peaceful setting to relax and enjoy throughout the day. Adjacent to the property is an additional piece of land at the foot of the Maasdijk (approximately 440 m²). Although this parcel is not owned, the property benefits from an indefinite right of use, allowing you to enjoy this unique outdoor space and its tranquil surroundings.
