A perfect balance between history and modern convenience!


GROUND FLOOR - ALL THE SPACE, YET COSY
From the bustling Market Square, you step into the porch of this home, with the spacious and warm reception hall immediately following. A fine entrance! To the left is the cosy TV room, also ideal as a play or game room.

After the staircase, you enter the living room. Underfloor heating and a cosy cast-iron fireplace make this a wonderfully cosy place in winter. And in summer, the French doors make the terrace and green garden a nice extension of the living room.

To the right of the porch is the cosy dining room, with a lovely round decorative window and atmospheric gas fireplace. From here, you overlook the lively Market Square. It is nice to get together in the dining room. Start the day with a communal breakfast or enjoy a cosy dinner in the evening.

Following on from the dining room is the kitchen. The ideal place to indulge in culinary delights. The natural stone worktop, plenty of storage space and modern appliances, including a Quooker tap and five-burner gas hob with wok burner... A dream for any hobby chef. Who will you invite to the first dinner party?

Of course, a practical utility and laundry kitchen should not be missing either. It has a large laundry cupboard and an updated kitchen unit with terrazzo worktop. Through the back door, you walk straight into the sunny back garden. The garden room and outbuilding are also located there.


FIRST FLOOR - 4 BEDROOMS AND BATHROOM
Upstairs. The atmosphere on the bright landing is reminiscent of a cosy boutique hotel. Get away, in your own home! On the first floor, you will find four spacious bedrooms and the bathroom. All bedrooms are spacious enough for a double bed and have extra-insulated windows. That promises to wake up wonderfully rested.

Did we mention the view? From the master bedroom at the front, you overlook the Market Square and bedroom 2 gives a beautiful view of the basilica’s bell tower. Bedroom 3 is located on the garden side and bedroom 4 on the side wall.

The spacious bathroom is also located on this first floor. The special details, such as the authentic wooden construction beam, make this the place for some time to yourself. The hot whirlpool bath is already slowly filling up


SECOND FLOOR - 2 MORE ROOMS AND SAUNA
The second floor is also nice and spacious and light, thanks to the many (roof) windows. The two extra rooms can be set up as bedrooms, but also as offices, gyms or hobby or playrooms. And don’t forget the infrared sauna on the landing. Another place to relax.


SPACIOUS STORAGE ATTIC
From the landing on the second floor, the almost 18-metre-long storage attic can be accessed via a loft ladder. The house is already spacious, but with this attic you will certainly not be short of (storage) space.


STORAGE AND WINE CELLAR
At the top of the fixed cellar stairs in the scullery is a handy household cupboard. The large cellar itself - where bending down is not necessary - is very suitable for storing stock and wines, thanks to the constant climate.


MULTIFUNCTIONAL ANNEX
Do you have plans for a bed & breakfast, flat or home office? The possibilities are endless for this multifunctional space! The outbuilding is almost 70 m², beautifully renovated and well insulated. Fun fact: this place used to be a taxi workshop. The large, high and open space, with storage space and attic, is now used as a play, game and party room for the kids. At the front is a sunny terrace with pergola.


LARGE GARAGE/STORAGE ROOM WITH GARDEN ROOM
Behind the double wooden garage doors to the right of the house, there is more than meets the eye. This fully covered 15-metre-long space used to be the taxi company’s passage to the workshop. The approximately 35 m² area is nice and bright and offers many additional possibilities. For example, as a separate garage and bicycle storage. The rear area then remains usable as a cosy, covered garden room.


SUNNY BACK GARDEN
A place with all the privacy and tranquillity. That is what you will experience in the beautiful ornamental and play garden, which is south-west facing. It is a beautiful and well thought-out mix of terraces, fruit trees, planting, lawn and paving. Combined with the mood lighting (controllable via an app), it all creates a sheltered and cosy atmosphere; a lovely place for long summer evenings.


RICH HISTORY
Living in a national monument... that's extra special! In addition to the architectural report by Monumentenwacht Noord-Brabant (2024), this house also has historical stories, documents and drawings. These have all been collected in a book. A small insight: Markt 11, for instance, was home to the town clerk, a gold and silversmith and the De Kroon family, well-known beer brewers. Before the current owners - a family with three children - made this their own, this house also housed a garage and taxi company from just after WWII.

Not only the house itself, but also the village of Oirschot has a long and rich history. Oirschot has more than three hundred monuments. Diagonally opposite Markt 11 is the ‘cathedral of Oirschot’, the beautiful St Peter's Basilica from around 1510. Also visible from the front door: the listed former town hall from 1513, now the site of the Visit Oirschot information and inspiration point.


THE COSY MARKET AND THE TOWN CENTRE
The Oirschotse Markt is one of the most beautiful and cosy squares in Brabant, well-known at home and abroad. From the high windows of Markt 11, you have a beautiful view of the stately trees, benches and cobblestones and, of course, the St Peter’s Basilica. Step out the front door and take a seat at one of the fine restaurants and terraces or go for a nice round of shopping.

Another great development: from the recent Centre Plan, the burgundian atmosphere and amenities in Oirschot are getting an extra boost. The aim is a vibrant, inviting and car-free village centre. Water and climate management and biodiversity are also given full attention in this plan.


OIRSCHOT AND SURROUNDINGS
For those who do not know Oirschot (well): the village is located in the Kempen region of Brabant, between Eindhoven and Tilburg. The municipality consists of Oirschot, Spoordonk, Middelbeers, Oostelbeers and Westelbeers and has over 19,000 inhabitants. The village has many restaurants, shops and amenities, and schools are also within walking and cycling distance.

The municipality has several museums and the largest ‘monument density’ in the Netherlands. In terms of nature, the area also lacks nothing. There are eleven nature reserves and estates, including the Oirschotse Heide, De Beerze, Baest estate and the Landschotse Heide. If you like walking and cycling among the heathland, woods and fens, you will not be short of anything here!

Oirschot has a favourable economic location in the Brainport region. Within 5 car minutes you are on the A58 towards Tilburg or Eindhoven, or on the A2 towards Den Bosch or the south. And convenient for a trip abroad: Eindhoven Airport is just 12 kilometres away.

HISTORY

Gagelstraat 107, together with Gagelstraat 109 and Willemstraat 108, is housed in the former Gomarus cigar factory (commissioned in 1902) by Norbert van Reuth. This factory was operational from 1903 to 1934. This municipal monument is a rare example of the industrialization of Eindhoven.

The design and location are characteristic. The arched windows, segmental arches above windows and doors, the mansard roof with the distinctive masonry in dentil style underneath are particularly beautiful.

The cigar industry dominated the Eindhoven economy in the second half of the nineteenth century, and just before the turn of the century, more than a fifth of the nearly five thousand inhabitants earned their livelihood from it.

Despite the rise of Philips and the resulting increase in labor costs, the sector managed to maintain itself fairly well in the following decades, although a concentration process occurred at the expense of small entrepreneurs. Moreover, the cigar industry spread southwards over the Kempen region to places like Valkenswaard and Bergeijk. Particularly in Valkenswaard, there were an estimated sixty cigar factories, alongside hundreds of people active in home-based industry.

The best-known entrepreneur was Hendrik Kersten, founder of the cigar brand Willem II. In the wake of the cigar industry, supply companies for paper, matches (Mennen & Kuenen, 1870), and boxes (Picus, 1883) also developed.

The kitchen is fully equipped with a steam oven, oven, refrigerator, drawer freezer, and dishwasher (2023).

The roof offers optimal opportunities for solar panels facing east, south, and west, ensuring a steady energy yield throughout the day. These solar panels can be perfectly paired with air conditioning for heating and cooling, a heat pump, and a charging station for electric vehicles in the carport.

Currently, the house is heated by a central heating boiler and convectors. However, there is potential for further sustainability upgrades, such as installing a hybrid system or heat pump, which could make the home entirely gas-free. Combined with solar panels, the villa could even become energy-neutral.

LAYOUT

This warm and inviting home, characterized by striking colors and thoughtful sightlines, is sure to charm the entire family. The current owners had it custom-built in 1995, designed by Architectenbureau Margry. This detached villa is now hitting the market for the first time.

GROUND FLOOR
The house is entered through the covered carport, with a front door on the side façade. In the high, bright reception hall, you'll find the meter cupboard, a guest toilet, and an open hardwood staircase with a mezzanine.

The spacious living area of over 60 m² is cleverly divided into three functional zones: a cozy dining area near the garden doors adjacent to the kitchen, a large sitting room with tall windows on three sides at the front, and a sunken conservatory in the center. Thanks to its southern orientation and extra-thick insulating glass, the conservatory serves as a true sun and garden room. The façade and skylights were fitted with new screens in 2023.

The solid oak floor extends throughout, featuring a colorfast finish and enough durability to be sanded and treated multiple times. The double outlets (220V, timer, and dusk-controlled) are connected to the alarm system, enhancing living comfort and safety.

The sleek and stylish kitchen is a semi-professional space, perfect for culinary enthusiasts. Kickspace plinth heating eliminates the need for radiators, contributing to the streamlined design. It offers ample soft-close storage and is equipped with heat-resistant terrazzo worktops.

The high-quality appliances are perfectly suited for extensive cooking adventures: two Miele refrigerators, two Miele drawer freezers, two Siemens ovens, and a six-burner gas stove with a robust stainless steel extractor hood. Three-phase power has already been installed for a potential induction hob. The kitchen is completed by stylish designer lighting, with ceiling fixtures and integrated shelf lighting, making the space both functional and atmospheric.

FIRST FLOOR
The landing with a balustrade gives access to four spacious bedrooms and a centrally located bathroom. This bright bathroom, with a dormer window, features a bathtub, shower cabin, double sink, and a floating toilet.

The master bedroom is the largest of the four and has access to a private west-facing balcony and a separate walk-in closet. Additionally, there is a technical room annex laundry room with connections for washing appliances and a recently installed central heating boiler (Nefit HR, 2023). Two other bedrooms include custom-built storage under the sloping rooflines. The fourth bedroom currently serves as a comfortable home office.

SECOND FLOOR
The spacious attic, accessible via a loft ladder from the landing, is ideal for storing seasonal items and more.

MULTIFUNCTIONAL GARAGE WITH CARPORT AND DRIVEWAY
The spacious carport and private driveway provide parking for at least two cars. The integrated garage is fully insulated and cavity-built, offering versatile use options. With central heating and a back door to the garden, this space can easily be converted into a playroom, home office, salon, practice room, or studio. At the rear of the garage, a fixed staircase leads to the basement.

WINE & PROVISION CELLAR
The wine cellar offers the perfect conditions for wine storage and aging, thanks to its stable basement climate. There’s also ample space for additional supplies.

GARDEN AND TERRACES
The front garden is neatly landscaped with large plant borders. The backyard, facing south and west, is fully enclosed with a lockable steel gate and offers privacy thanks to mature greenery, including trees. The lawn features garden lighting and is laid out in two separate circuits for both the front and backyard.

The spacious terrace by the kitchen and dining area is ideal for outdoor dining and is equipped with patio heaters and a large remote-controlled awning. For extra shelter, there is a decking terrace under a pergola, a delightful spot to relax.
