Verspreide huizen ten zuiden van Sebaldeburen, Westerkwartier
NeighbourhoodThis detached house on De Banten 2 sits in a quiet corner of Sebaldeburen, a village where life moves at its own pace. With 87 m² of living space on a generous plot of 1355 m², there is plenty of room to spread out. The energy label is F, so heating costs will be something to factor in. At €489,000, the price is on the high side compared to other detached houses in Westerkwartier.
The neighbourhood consists mainly of spacious residential plots, and the one review available sums it up: "Relaxed, beautiful place to live." One resident says: "Pleasant place with spacious residential plots where most residents greet each other on the street and/or have a chat. People feel socially connected to each other." The village once had a primary school, but it closed in 2020, which the resident notes as a loss for community cohesion. The Ukrainian shelter housed in the former school since 2022 has brought unfamiliar faces and occasional escalations, affecting the sense of safety. The neighbourhood Verspreide huizen ten zuiden van Sebaldeburen has around 240 residents, mostly families, and almost all homes are owner-occupied.
For daily groceries, you can head to Aldi (a couple of streets away) or Poiesz and PLUS within a few kilometres. The nearest primary school, CBS Rehoboth, is just around the corner, and there is also a secondary school, Drenthe College Terra, within walking distance. The municipality Westerkwartier offers a rural setting with basic amenities within reach, though you will need a car for most errands.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Van der Velde & Hoen makelaardij o.z. and also appears on Funda, so it is available through several channels.

Pleasant place with spacious residential plots where most residents greet each other on the street and/or have a chat. People feel socially connected to each other. The village once had a beautiful, recently renovated primary school. The fact that it closed in 2020 is still a great loss and has had a very detrimental effect on the mutual cohesion among the village's residents. The Ukrainian shelter that has been housed in the former school building since March 2022 has meant that native residents have mainly encountered unfamiliar people on the street since the opening of these shelter locations. Very occasionally you recognise someone from the shelter, but Ukrainians keep disappearing / new Ukrainians keep arriving. There are also regular escalations (violence) in and around the Ukrainian shelter location. This has a negative effect on the sense of safety and togetherness within the village.

About De Banten 2, Sebaldeburen
The asking price of €489,000 is on the high side compared to other vrijstaande woningen in Westerkwartier. The home has 87 m² of living space and a large plot of 1355 m², but the energy label F means higher running costs. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value the spacious plot and rural setting.
It is a quiet, rural area with spacious plots where neighbours greet each other. The only review describes it as a relaxed, beautiful place to live, but notes that the closure of the primary school in 2020 and the Ukrainian shelter in the former school have affected community cohesion and safety. The population is small, mostly families, and almost all homes are owner-occupied.
The nearest train station is 5.5 km away, so you will need a car or bike to reach it. Public transport options are limited in this rural area.
The nearest supermarket is Aldi at about 2.3 km, with Poiesz and PLUS within 3.5 km. For primary education, CBS Rehoboth is 2.2 km away, and there is a secondary school, Drenthe College Terra, at 2.2 km as well. A car is handy for most errands.
Energy label F indicates poor energy efficiency, so you can expect higher heating and electricity bills. The home was built in 1975, so insulation and heating systems may be outdated. It is worth budgeting for potential upgrades.
The plot of 1355 m² includes the house and the surrounding land. The listing does not specify a separate garden, but the spacious plot likely offers plenty of outdoor space around the home.
