About Grote Dijlakker 19, Bolsward
The asking price is 63% above the neighbourhood average of €460,864, but this home is also 127% larger than the average (180 m²). Detached homes of this size are rare in Bolsward, so the premium reflects the unique character and space. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value the historic features and generous plot.
The energy label is F, which is low. This means the home is not well insulated and heating costs are likely to be high. Given the building year of 1900, improvements such as double glazing and roof insulation would be needed to bring it up to modern standards. The neighbourhood has 43.5% of homes with label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area.
The plot measures 834 m², which is generous for a city-centre location. The listing does not specify a garden, but the size suggests there is outdoor space.
Bolsward binnen De Wallen has a mix of ages, with 160 households with children out of 825 total. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including IKC Sint Maarten (180 m) and Christelijke Basisschool De Bron (569 m). Secondary education is also nearby at Marne college. The area is quiet and safe, with low crime figures.
The nearest train station is 10.5 km away, so this home is not ideal for daily commuting by rail. You would likely rely on a car or bus for longer journeys. The bus connections in Bolsward are not detailed in the listing.
The listing does not mention parking, but as a detached home on a large plot, there is likely space for a driveway or garage. The neighbourhood has a moderate density (1,343 addresses per km²), so on-street parking may be available but could be limited in the historic centre.
The listing does not state any recent renovations. With a build year of 1900 and an F energy label, you should expect that the home may need updates to insulation, heating, and possibly the roof or windows. No specific issues are mentioned in the data.
