Diefdijk 5

The asking price is €850,000 for a detached house with 84 m² of living space and a huge plot of 27,250 m². Compared to other vrijstaande woningen in Vijfheerenlanden, the price per square metre of land is very low, but the house itself is old and has an energy label G, meaning high energy costs. Whether it's fair depends on how you value the land versus the building.

Energy label G is the least efficient rating. The home was built in 1900 and likely has poor insulation, single glazing and an old heating system. You can expect high gas and electricity bills, especially in winter. It's worth budgeting for significant energy costs or considering renovations to improve efficiency.

The nearest train station is 7 km away. That's about a 15-minute drive or a longer cycle. Public transport options in this rural area are limited, so a car is almost essential for commuting.

The closest primary school is CNS Herédium, just under 1 km away, a short walk. Other primary schools within 5 km include Samenwerkingsschool De Regenboog (2.9 km), CBS Noachschool (3.1 km) and Openbare Basisschool De Distelvlinder (3.7 km). For secondary education, the nearest school is 6.6 km away.

Zijderveld buitengebied is a very rural area with only 160 residents. Most households are families or couples, and almost all homes are owner-occupied. The area is quiet and green, but amenities are sparse, the nearest supermarket is 3.7 km away. It's ideal if you value peace and space over convenience.

The plot is 27,250 m², which is substantial. However, the listing does not specify zoning or permitted uses. You would need to check with the local municipality (Vijfheerenlanden) about what is allowed on the land. The home itself is a detached house, so the land likely surrounds it as garden or pasture.
