About Verbindingsstraat 2, Philippine
The asking price of €220,000 is 39% below the average asking price in Kern Philippine (€359,685) and also below the median of €299,000. However, the floor area of 81 m² is 43% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 142 m². Given the smaller size and the older construction year (1910), the price appears keen and in line with what you'd expect for a compact, characterful home in this village.
The home has energy label E. This means it's not particularly energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating costs compared to a modern home. In the neighbourhood, 37% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is fairly typical for an older property. You may want to consider improvements like insulation or double glazing to reduce energy bills.
The nearest train station is 32.2 km away, so this home is not well served by rail. You'd rely on a car or bus for longer journeys.
The closest primary school is Basisschool Laureyn, just 558 metres away, a five-minute walk. Another primary school, Basisschool De Driesprong, is 3.8 km away. For secondary education, the nearest school is 10.7 km away, so older children would need to travel further.
Kern Philippine recorded 26 total crimes in the latest data, which is low for a village of this size. The area feels quiet and residential, with a strong sense of community. Most residents are older, and the streets are calm.
The plot measures 151 m², which includes the footprint of the house and some outdoor space. The listing does not specify a garden, terrace, or other outdoor features, so you'd need to view the property to see how the land is laid out.
With 81 m² of floor space and three floors (typical for an end-of-terrace house of this era), it could work for a small family. The neighbourhood has many single-family homes and a primary school within walking distance. However, the lack of a garden mentioned in the listing and the older energy label are factors to consider.
The average price per m² in the neighbourhood is €2,599, while this home works out at about €2,716 per m², slightly above average. But given the smaller size and lower total price, it's still a relatively affordable option compared to the median of €299,000.
