The asking price of €415,000 is on the keen side compared to other detached houses in Achtkarspelen. The home has an A energy label and a generous plot, which adds value. However, the village location means amenities are a drive away, so the price reflects the rural setting.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is A, which is very efficient. This means the home is well-insulated and has low heating costs compared to older properties. Given the house was built in 1894, the label suggests significant modernisation has been done.

What supermarkets are within reach?
