Anninks-/Nijhofshoek, Hengelo
NeighbourhoodThis detached house on Grundellaan sits on a generous plot, with a floor area that dwarfs the neighbourhood average. Built in 1939, it has the character of its era but an energy label E, so heating costs are something to factor in. At €1,450,000, the price is on the high side compared to the local market, where the average sold price is €303,500, but then this is a very different proposition from the typical home in the area. For context, detached houses in Hengelo are rare, and this one stands out.

About Grundellaan 19, Hengelo
The asking price is significantly above the neighbourhood average of €229,500 for available homes and the average sold price of €303,500. However, this is a detached house with 365 m² of living space, while the typical home in the area is 65 m². The price per square metre works out at about €3,973, which is higher than the neighbourhood average of €3,531 per m². So it is on the high side, but the property is exceptional in size and character.
The energy label is E, which is below average for the neighbourhood, most homes for sale here have labels A or better. An E label means the house is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating bills. The house was built in 1939, so it likely has original features that affect insulation. It is worth noting that the neighbourhood has no homes with labels D or lower among recent sales, so this one stands out in that respect.
The plot measures 1,443 m², which is very generous for a detached house in this area. The listing does not specify whether there is a garden, terrace, or other outdoor features, so you would need to check the full details with the agent.
