About Lange Uitweg 33, Schalkwijk
The price is on the high side compared to other apartments in Houten, but this is not a standard apartment. With 202 m² in a monumental farmhouse, it offers rare character and space. The energy label G means higher running costs, which may affect the overall value. Without comparable sales in the immediate area, it is hard to say exactly, but the uniqueness justifies a premium.
Energy label G is the least efficient rating, so you can expect high heating costs. The home dates from 1850 and likely has poor insulation. You will need to budget for significant energy bills, especially in winter. It is worth investigating potential improvements, but the listing does not mention any recent upgrades.
The nearest train station is about 5.3 km away. That is a ten-minute drive or a 20-minute bike ride. For daily commuting, a car or bicycle is essential.
The closest supermarket is SPAR, about 1.4 km away, a 15-minute walk or short cycle. For a larger selection, Albert Heijn and Hoogvliet are about 3 km away. There are 11 supermarkets within 5 km, so you have options, but a car is convenient for big shops.
The area recorded 12 total crimes, which is low for a population of 295. The neighbourhood is thinly populated and rural, so it is generally quiet and safe. Most homes are owner-occupied, which often contributes to a stable community.
