Annen, Aa en Hunze
NeighbourhoodThis detached house on De Wolden sits in a quiet corner of Annen, a village where life moves at a gentler pace. With 119 m² of living space and a generous plot of 755 m², there is room to breathe both indoors and out. The home dates from 1956 and carries an energy label D, so some modernisation may be on the cards. At €515,000, the asking price is in line with the average for detached houses in Aa en Hunze, though the large plot adds real value.
Annen is a village where neighbours still look out for each other. One resident describes it as a 'Quiet neighbourhood, fine place to live', adding: 'Contact with immediate neighbours is good. You can always ask for help or to borrow a lawnmower, for example. There is social control, but not in an annoying way. More like extra eyes on the lookout, which does give a sense of safety.' The village has around 3,500 residents, with a mix of families and older households. Most homes are owner-occupied, and the area feels settled and safe. For a closer look at the area, see the page for municipality Aa en Hunze.
For your daily shopping, both a Coop and an Aldi are just around the corner, so picking up bread or milk takes minutes. The local primary school, Basisschool De Eshoek, is a couple of streets away, making the school run a short walk. Secondary schools are further afield, the nearest is about 7.6 km away in Gieten or Assen, but the bus connection to Groningen, running every half hour, is a good option for older children or commuters.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Wildveen and Funda. The agent has provided full details, so you can get a clear picture of what is on offer.

Contact with immediate neighbours is good. You can always ask for help or to borrow a lawnmower, for example. There is social control, but not in an annoying way. More like extra eyes on the lookout, which does give a sense of safety. The village has sufficient amenities and nearby Zuidlaren has many shops, such as a chemist and a butcher. The bus connection to Groningen is great, every half hour. Secondary schools are a bit more difficult in terms of transport if you don't want to go to Gieten or Assen. People in the village are friendly, but I notice it's hard to really integrate without children.

About De Wolden 47, Annen
The asking price of €515,000 is slightly above the average sold price of €457,010 in Annen, but it is in line with the average asking price of €484,750 for homes currently on the market. Given the large plot of 755 m² and the detached nature of the property, the price appears reasonable for what is on offer.
The home has an energy label D, which is average for a house of this age. In Annen, half of all homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual. You can expect moderate energy costs, but improvements like better insulation could bring the label up over time.
The nearest train station is 13.3 km away, so this is not a home for daily rail commuters. The bus connection to Groningen, which runs every half hour, is a more practical option for public transport.
Based on one review, neighbours are friendly and helpful. The resident notes that you can always ask for help or borrow a lawnmower, and there is social control without being intrusive. It is a quiet neighbourhood where people look out for each other, though integrating without children can take time.
Yes, Basisschool De Eshoek is just a couple of streets away, making it easy for younger children. For secondary education, the nearest schools are in Gieten or Assen, about 7.6 km away, so a bus or car journey is needed.
Both a Coop and an Aldi are just around the corner, so daily groceries are very convenient. For more extensive shopping, Zuidlaren has a chemist and a butcher, and is a short drive away.
