About Dorpstraat 19, Ulvenhout (Gem. Breda)
The asking price is €1,050,000, which is above the neighbourhood average of €975,943 and the median of €935,000. However, this home is 25% larger than the typical Ulvenhout home (256 m² vs 204 m²), and its corner-house layout and historic character are rare.

The home has energy label C. This is a middling score, it means the home is reasonably efficient but not as good as modern builds. In Ulvenhout, about 27% of homes have label C, while 24% have label A and 9% have A+. You can expect moderate energy bills, but improvements like better insulation could lower them further.
Built in 1870, this is one of the older homes in Ulvenhout, where only 13.5% of properties date from before 1945. The listing does not mention renovations, so you should assume the original features are intact. The energy label C suggests some modernisation has been done, but a structural survey would give you a clearer picture.

There are good primary schools within walking distance, like Kbs De Rosmolen (a couple of streets away) and Openbare Basisschool De Klokkebei (a ten-minute walk). Secondary schools are further afield, but the village has a strong community feel and plenty of green space.
The nearest train station is 6.5 km away. This is a bit far for a daily walk, but it is a short bike ride or a 10-minute drive. The station connects to Breda and beyond, so commuting by train is feasible if you have a bike or car for the first leg.
Albert Heijn is just around the corner (256 m), and Jumbo is a 15-minute walk (1.2 km). There are also restaurants within a five-minute walk. For a library or park, you would need to drive about 2-3 km. Overall, daily groceries are very convenient, but for a wider range of shops, Breda city centre is a short drive away.
