Bruinsslotstraat 56
Drachten centrum · 9203 SC Drachten
A detached home in the heart of Drachten
This detached house on Bruinsslotstraat sits right in the centre of Drachten, where the streets are lively and everything is close by. With 110 m² of living space on a 459 m² plot, it's a compact home with a generous garden, a rare combination in a central location. The energy label G meant heating costs would be high, something to factor in. At €325,000, the asking price was 28% below the neighbourhood average of €448,654, which made it a keen option compared to other detached houses in Smallingerland. This home has not been online since 31 July 2026.

Frequently asked questions
About Bruinsslotstraat 56, Drachten
Was €325,000 a fair price for this detached home?
The asking price of €325,000 was 28% below the average asking price in Drachten centrum (€448,654) and also below the median of €420,000. However, the home was smaller than average (110 m² vs 150 m²) and had an energy label G, which meant higher energy costs. Given these factors, the price was on the low side compared to other homes in the neighbourhood.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home is not energy-efficient and you can expect high heating and electricity bills. In the neighbourhood, only 23.1% of homes have a label D or lower, so this property is less efficient than most. Renovations like insulation or solar panels could improve the label and reduce costs.
How large is the plot and what can I expect outdoors?

What is the neighbourhood like in terms of safety and community?
Based on one resident review, Drachten centrum is described as child-friendly, quiet and social, with people greeting each other and children playing outside. The total number of crimes in the neighbourhood is 257, but no specific safety rating is given. The resident gave the area a score of 9 out of 10.
How far is the nearest train station?
The nearest train station is 19.3 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You would need a car or bus for train travel. The listing did not mention bus connections, so check local public transport options.
