A spacious home in the countryside
This detached house on Dotterbloem 2 sits in the Buitengebied ten noorden van Zevenhuizen, a rural corner of Leek where the pace of life slows down. The setting is described as sheltered and within a residential area, so you get the best of both worlds: open countryside around you, yet part of a neighbourhood. With a plot of 1494 m², there is plenty of room to spread out. The asking price is €950,000. For a sense of what this price buys you, it helps to look at detached houses in Westerkwartier.
The home itself
Built in 2008, this house offers 268 m² of living space according to the BAG registration, while the agent lists 262 m². The layout spans three floors, with four rooms, three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The whole home is fully insulated, and heating comes from partial underfloor heating and a heat pump. Outside, there is a garden that wraps around the house and a carport for parking. The property is in full ownership, so you own the land and the building outright. The energy label is A+, which is an efficient label, so expect relatively modest energy costs.
Life in the Buitengebied
This is a small community of around 280 people, where households with children make up a large share. Residents across the municipality of Westerkwartier give their living environment an average score of 7.64, based on 25 reviews. One resident describes the area as "child-friendly, quiet, safe", while another, originally from North Holland, praises the friendly and straightforward people, noting that "if you open yourself up, you will certainly find a place in the community". A third review is less positive, mentioning bullying and theft from the garden, so experiences clearly vary. The neighbourhood itself is part of the Buitengebied ten noorden van Zevenhuizen neighbourhood, where the housing stock is relatively recent, with all homes built between 1990 and 2010.
