About De Brink 5, Cothen
The asking price is 91% above the neighbourhood average of €575,125, and it's the most expensive of the 16 homes currently for sale in Cothen. However, the house is also 143% larger than the average (292 m² vs 120 m²) and has a monumental character from 1815. So the price reflects its size and uniqueness, but it's certainly on the high side compared to other homes in the area.
Energy label F means the home is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a modern home. In Cothen, 42.9% of homes have label A, so this one is below average. The house dates from 1815, so it likely has single glazing and limited insulation. Budget for energy bills accordingly.
The plot is 892 m², which is generous for a detached house in Cothen. The listing doesn't specify a garden, but with that size, there's plenty of outdoor space. You could have a large garden, a patio, or even room for a studio or extension, subject to planning permission.
