Ferme Hollandaise Luxueuse Parfaitement Adaptée Pour Vivre Et Travailler, Avec Un Garage Double Et Un B&B

Dutch farmhouse ‘De Bommel,’ located in the village center of Aalst, defies a single, simple impression. From the street, it presents as a municipal monument dating back to 1830, characterized by its brickwork, exterior shutters, and a complex thatched roof. Beyond this lies a T-shaped farmhouse, offering a living space that is exceptionally generous and remarkably multi-layered, a quality that makes this home truly unique. It features expansive rooms for gathering, alongside more intimate spaces for working, reading, or hosting guests. A long hallway connects the front and rear of the house, while antique monastery tiles, wooden wainscoting, decorative ceilings, parquet flooring, and exposed brickwork keep the past tangible, all without the home ever feeling heavy or dated. A comprehensive renovation, combined with an A+ energy rating, ensures modern-day comfort. The eat-in kitchen perfectly encapsulates this character: antique tiles, exposed wooden trusses, Belgian bluestone, and traditional Dutch wall tiles (‘witjes’) create an effortless sense of tranquility, while the raised dining area and gas fireplace lend the space a distinct rhythm. French doors opening onto the garden seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor living. The upper floor maintains this same atmosphere; high ceilings, exposed trusses, skylights, and a large window set beneath the characteristic ‘Gelderse’ roof overhang give each bedroom its own unique identity. Finally, there is a detached outbuilding housing a double garage and an official Bed & Breakfast, a valuable addition to a property that effortlessly balances spacious living, entertaining, and private retreat.

Flexibility in use, from the ground floor to the outbuilding
The layout offers a remarkable degree of flexibility. The front room, living room, and study, all located on the ground floor, could easily serve as bedrooms. Furthermore, the detached outbuilding houses an official Bed and Breakfast with a private entrance; this space is equally well-suited for use as a home office or as a separate living area for children.

In the heart of Aalst, close to the Meuse
You will live in the village center of Aalst, while enjoying complete privacy. The floodplains of the ’Afgedamde Maas’ (Dammed Meuse) are within walking distance, ensuring that village living is complemented by an expansive, open landscape right nearby.
