The asking price is 74% above the neighbourhood average of €446,000, but this home is also 81% larger than the average (221 m² vs 122 m²). Detached houses are scarce in Zuidlaren, only 4 were for sale at the time of writing, so the premium reflects both the extra space and the property type. The price per m² works out at roughly €3,506, which is in line with the local average of €3,599 per m².

The home has energy label E. This is below the current standard, in the neighbourhood, a third of homes have label A and another third label B. Label E means higher energy costs are to be expected, especially for heating. The house was built in 1968, so improvements like better insulation or a more efficient heating system could bring the label up over time.

The plot measures 557 m², which includes the house and the surrounding land. The exact size and layout of the garden are not described in the listing, but a plot of this size typically allows for a good-sized private outdoor space. You would need to view the property to see how the garden is arranged.

Zuidlaren has a mix of households: about a third are couples without children, a quarter are couples with children, and a third are single-person households. There are several primary schools within walking distance, and the area is quiet with low crime figures (105 total offences). The village has a GP, supermarket and restaurant nearby, making it practical for daily life.

The nearest train station is 9.2 km from the home. That is about a 15-minute drive or a longer bike ride. For daily commuting by train, a car or a bicycle to the station would be necessary.

The house was built in 1968, so it is over 50 years old. The energy label E suggests that the original insulation and heating may not meet modern standards. The listing does not mention any recent renovations, so a buyer should expect some updating, but the structure and layout are likely solid given the era.

With 221 m² of living space, a detached house of this size typically has at least four bedrooms, but the exact layout is not provided. You would need to view the property or ask the agent for a floor plan.
