Leersum - Darthuizen-Zuylestein, Utrechtse Heuvelrug

The house itself offers 353 m² of living space, built in 2002 with an energy label C.

About Gooyerdijk 18, Leersum

Without comparable sales in the immediate neighbourhood, the value lies largely in the land. The house itself is spacious and well-built, but the energy label C means heating costs will be moderate.
