About De Voorstreek 13, Gerkesklooster
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.
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.
The nearest train station is 6.1 km away, so about a 10-minute drive. Public transport options in the village itself are limited, so a car is practical for commuting.
The closest primary school is Christelijke Basisschool De Claercamp, just 548 m away, a short walk. For secondary education, Lauwers College Buitenpost is 3.4 km away, and Aeres VMBO Buitenpost is 3.7 km. Both are within cycling distance for older children.
Gerkesklooster has a mix of households, with about 120 families with children and 100 without. The area is quiet and safe, with very low crime. Most homes are single-family houses with gardens, making it suitable for families who value space and peace.
The nearest supermarkets are Lidl and PLUS, both about 4.3 km away. Poiesz is also 4.3 km away. For daily shopping, you'll need to drive or cycle, as there is no supermarket within walking distance in the village itself.
The house was built in 1894, but the A energy label indicates it has been thoroughly modernised, likely with new insulation, windows, and heating.
