The house

Space, light and nearly 150 years of history

On the market square of Oudenbosch stands one of the village's most striking buildings: a detached mansion built around 1880, spread over three storeys and a cellar, and protected as a Dutch national monument (rijksmonument). Behind the stately façade lies a home that was carefully renovated in 2020, preserving its authentic details.

With 583 m² of living space, twelve rooms and eight bedrooms, there is room in abundance — for a large family, for living and working under one roof, or for life with several generations together. The 27-metre-deep, south-facing town garden and the detached 57 m² outbuilding complete the picture. A lift connects the ground floor to the first floor.

Heritage

A protected national monument

Markt 84 is an eclectic-style townhouse listed in the Dutch national monument register (no. 521559) since 2002. Owners of a listed home in the Netherlands can qualify for a national maintenance subsidy (woonhuissubsidie) and a low-interest heritage mortgage through the Nationaal Restauratiefonds.

The 2020 renovation combined the best of both worlds: original features such as marble fireplaces and panelled doors were preserved, while two luxurious bathrooms and a lift bring the house up to today's standards.

Location

Between Breda, Rotterdam and Antwerp

Oudenbosch is a village with unusual grandeur: its skyline is defined by the Basilica, a scaled replica of St. Peter's in Rome. Shops, restaurants and the village's own railway station are within walking distance, with Rotterdam Centraal about 50 minutes away by train (one change at Dordrecht). Antwerp is about 45 minutes away by car; Schiphol and Brussels airports are both within reach.

Markt 84 stands right on the historic market square — and at the same time withdraws into its own south-facing garden. Village life at the front door, privacy at the back.

For international professionals

More home for your money — within reach of your work

Working in the Brainport region (Eindhoven–Veldhoven, home to ASML, Philips and NXP) or along the Rotterdam–Antwerp corridor? Most internationals end up paying city prices for city space. Oudenbosch offers the opposite: 583 m² of listed grandeur for a fraction of the price levels in Utrecht, Amsterdam or Eindhoven.

And the commute holds up: the Brainport campus is about an hour by car outside peak hours — comparable to commuting from Utrecht. Breda, with its international school, is around 25 minutes away, and Rotterdam is about 50 minutes away by train (one change at Dordrecht).

Practical points for international buyers

Can foreigners buy property in the Netherlands?

Yes. There are no restrictions on foreign nationals buying residential property in the Netherlands. A purchase is completed through a Dutch civil-law notary. We recommend engaging your own adviser for financing and tax matters.

What does "k.k." mean in the asking price?

"Kosten koper" — the buyer pays the transfer tax and notary costs on top of the purchase price, which is customary in the Netherlands.

Can I combine living and working here?

The residential zoning can accommodate a home-based professional practice, provided living remains the main use. The detached 57 m² outbuilding may lend itself to an office, practice or studio; specific plans should be verified with the municipality of Halderberge.
