Villa zu verkaufen in BAVEL

his characterful barn, converted into a residential home under architectural supervision, is located in a beautiful setting on the edge of Bavel — just 5 minutes from the village center and approximately 15 minutes from the vibrant city center of Breda.

Under the direction of architect Henri Borduin (borderarchitecture.com
), the conversion into a modern residence has been executed with exceptional attention to detail and natural light. The original character of the barn has been preserved, while it has simultaneously been transformed into a comfortable, contemporary home. Tapered light shafts connect the ground floor spaces with the roof, positioned in such a way that the existing structural framework and beams remain a visible and integral part of the house.

The home stands out for its unique architecture, beautiful natural lighting in various areas, and a successful blend of modern design and original elements. The property also includes a multifunctional, fully insulated outbuilding — ideal for use as a home office, guest accommodation, or garden house.
