Kern Philippine, Terneuzen
NeighbourhoodThis end-of-terrace house on Poststraat in Philippine has a lived-in feel that comes with a 1909 build. With 78 m² of floor space and a compact 59 m² plot, it is a modest home that sits well below the neighbourhood average in size. The asking price of €185,000 is 49% under the average asking price in Kern Philippine, which makes it a notably keen entry point into the market.

Kern Philippine is a small village with about 1,800 residents, where nearly all homes are single-family houses and 84% are owner-occupied. The population is older on average, with a notable share of 65-plus residents, and households without children outnumber those with children. The area is very quiet, the address density is just 303 addresses per km², making it one of the least urban settings. There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood, so the picture comes entirely from statistics. The municipality of Terneuzen oversees this rural corner of Zeelandic Flanders.
For your morning bread, SPAR is just around the corner, and a five-minute walk takes you to the GP practice. Basisschool Laureyn, the nearest primary school, is a ten-minute walk away. A park or public garden is on your doorstep, and a restaurant and library are both a couple of streets away. For secondary school, you would need to travel 10.7 km, so a bike or car is essential. The nearest train station is 32.2 km away, so this is very much car-dependent living.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Reham Makelaars & Taxateurs and Funda. The agent has published full details, so the information on this page reflects the listing accurately.

About Poststraat 4, Philippine
The asking price of €185,000 is 49% below the average asking price in Kern Philippine, which stands at €359,685. However, this home is also 45% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 142 m². Given the compact size and older construction, the price is in line with what you would expect for a small end-of-terrace house in this village.
The energy label is E, which means the home is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. In Kern Philippine, 37% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for an older property in the area.
The nearest supermarket is SPAR at 343 metres, just a few minutes' walk. The next closest is PLUS at 3.6 km, so for a full weekly shop you would likely drive or cycle further.
The closest primary school is Basisschool Laureyn at 615 metres, a ten-minute walk. There is also Basisschool De Driesprong at 3.9 km. For secondary education, the nearest school is 10.7 km away, so daily travel is required.
The nearest train station is 32.2 km away, so rail travel is not practical for daily use. Bus services are not detailed in the listing, but given the low address density, a car is almost essential for getting around.
In the most recent data, 26 crimes were recorded in Kern Philippine. With a population of 1,800, that is a low crime rate, consistent with a quiet village environment.
The house was built in 1909, so it is over a century old. The listing does not describe the condition in detail, but an energy label E suggests that insulation and heating systems may be dated. A structural survey would be advisable before purchase.
