Burgemeester van Weringstraat 21

The asking price of €340,000 is 18% above the average asking price in Oude Pekela (€286,938). The house is also smaller than average (106 m² vs 145 m²), so the price per square metre is higher. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the large plot and the detached character, it's on the high side compared to other homes in the neighbourhood.

The energy label is D. That means the home is moderately efficient, not as good as modern builds, but not the worst either. You can expect reasonable heating costs, though improvements like better insulation or double glazing could bring it up to a higher label. In the neighbourhood, about 30% of homes have label D or lower.

The plot is 500 m², which is generous for a detached house. It gives you plenty of outdoor space for a garden, patio, or even a small vegetable patch. The exact layout and condition of the garden are not described in the listing, so you'd need to see it for yourself.

Oude Pekela is a quiet, family-friendly village with many young people and a secondary school nearby. Residents mention it's clean, everything is accessible by bike or car, and there's a nice forest. The neighbourhood has a mix of families with children and older residents, and the local schools are within walking distance.

The nearest train station is 5.4 km away. That's about a 10-minute drive or a 20-minute bike ride. Public transport connections are available, but for daily commuting a car or bike is more practical.

Jumbo is 446 metres away (a five-minute walk) and Aldi is 513 metres away (a couple of streets further). For daily groceries you're well covered. There are also SPAR and Poiesz supermarkets within 4,5 km if you need more variety.

The house was built in 1930, so it's nearly a century old. The listing doesn't mention recent renovations, so you should expect some maintenance typical of a pre-war home. The energy label D suggests the insulation and heating may need updating.
