The asking price is 40% above the average asking price in Makkum (€465,717), but the home is also 33% larger than the average (159 m²). Detached homes in Súdwest-Fryslân tend to be more expensive. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value the extra space and the large plot.

The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home is not energy-efficient and you can expect high heating costs. The home was built in 1930, so insulation and glazing are likely outdated. In the neighbourhood, 33% of homes have label D or lower.

The plot measures 914 m², which is very generous for a detached home in Makkum. It offers plenty of space for a garden, possibly a terrace, or even an extension (subject to planning permission). The exact layout and condition of the garden are not described in the listing.

Three primary schools are within walking distance: Daltonbasisschool Sint Martinus (92 m), Basisschool De Populier (165 m), and Christelijke Basisschool De Ark (199 m). For secondary education, the nearest school is 10.4 km away, so a commute is necessary.

Jumbo is just 175 m away, so daily groceries are on your doorstep. Other supermarkets like Poiesz and Aldi are much further (over 6 km), so Jumbo will be your main shop.

In the most recent data, 43 crimes were recorded in Makkum. This is relatively low for a village of this size. The area is quiet and not very urban, with a mix of families and older residents.

With 211 m² of living space and a large plot, there is plenty of room for a family. The three nearby primary schools are a plus. However, the energy label G means higher running costs, which is something to factor in.
