Balloërweg 2

The asking price of €950,000 is on the high side compared to other detached houses in Assen, but the property is exceptional in size: 384 m² of living space on a 3273 m² plot. Homes of this scale are rare in the area, so the price reflects the generous proportions and the rural setting in Loon.

Energy label G is the lowest rating, meaning the home is not energy-efficient. Built in 1936, it likely has poor insulation and an old heating system. You can expect high heating costs, especially in winter. The large living area (384 m²) will add to the energy bills.

The plot measures 3273 m², which is very spacious for a detached house in this area. It offers plenty of room for a garden, outdoor activities, or even extensions, subject to planning permission. The exact layout and features of the garden are not described in the listing.

Loon is a small, quiet village with around 250 residents. Most homes are owner-occupied, and the population is skewed towards older age groups (45+). The area has very low crime and a rural character, with fields and open space nearby. Amenities are limited, so a car is useful for shopping and schools.

The nearest supermarkets (Jumbo and Lidl) are about 1.9 km away in Assen. Primary schools are within 2 km: Openbare Basisschool Heksenketel at 1.6 km and Kindcentrum De Marskramer at 1.8 km. Secondary education is at Dr Nassau College, 3.1 km away. The train station is 4.1 km from the home.

With 384 m² of living space and a large plot, the home offers ample room for a family. The neighbourhood has a mix of households with and without children, and there are several primary schools within a short drive. However, the energy label G means higher running costs, which is something to consider.

Loon has an urbanity level of 5, which is the least urban category. The address density is only 143 addresses per km², so it is a very rural area. You will need a car for most errands, as shops, schools, and public transport are a few kilometres away.
