About Dongenseweg 15, Rijen
The asking price is 60% above the neighbourhood average of €437,600 and the highest among the ten homes currently for sale in Vijf Eiken. However, the house is also 47% larger than the average (178 m² vs 121 m²) and sits on a 370 m² plot. Detached homes in Gilze en Rijen are scarce, so the price reflects both size and rarity.
The energy label is E, which is common for a home built in 1913. In the neighbourhood, 30% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a modern home, but the exact amount depends on usage and any improvements made.
