About Wal 6, Thorn

The price per square metre works out at about €6,583, which is above the neighbourhood average of €2,810 per m². So while the total price is low, you are paying a premium for the compact size.
The energy label is C, which is average for a home of this age (built in 1971). In the neighbourhood, 30% of homes have label C, while 40% have a lower rating (D or worse). Label C means reasonable insulation and moderate energy costs, but not as efficient as modern standards.
Aldi is just 207 m away, so you can walk there in a couple of minutes. Albert Heijn is about 1.9 km, a pleasant ten-minute walk or short cycle. For other supermarkets like Lidl, PLUS and Jumbo, you would need to drive, as they are 3.7 km or more.
