A 1890s house in the heart of Gouda
This detached house on Cappenersteeg 19 sits in the middle of Gouda's historic centre, on a quiet road yet right in the middle of the action. The home dates from 1890 and carries energy label G, the least efficient label, so expect high heating costs. With a floor area of 63 m² according to the agent, the asking price of €360,000 is 29% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €509,475. That puts the price on the low side compared with other homes in the area. For context, the average asking price for detached houses in Gouda reflects a different segment of the market.
