Oude Pekela, Pekela
NeighbourhoodThis detached house on H. Hindersstraat 78 has a classic feel, with its 1934 build and energy label C.

At €399,500, the asking price is 39% above the neighbourhood average of €286,938, partly because the home is larger than typical for the street, but also because it's a detached property, which is relatively rare here.

About H. Hindersstraat 78, Oude Pekela
The asking price is 39% above the average asking price in Oude Pekela (€286,938), but this is a detached house on a 453 m² plot, which is a different category from the typical home in the area. Detached homes in Pekela generally sell for more, and the price per m² (€3,917) is above the neighbourhood average of €2,263 per m². Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the extra space and privacy.
Oude Pekela has a total of 239 recorded crimes, which is moderate for a village of its size. Residents describe it as quiet and clean, with a cosy atmosphere. The neighbourhood review score is 7.51 out of 10, based on two reviews, which suggests a generally positive experience.
The nearest train station is 5.4 km away. That's about a ten-minute drive or a 20-minute bike ride. Public transport in the area is available, but for daily commuting by train, you'd likely need a car or bike to reach the station.
There are several schools within walking distance. Dollard College Pekela (secondary) is about 842 m away, roughly a ten-minute walk. Primary schools include CBS de 7-Sprong and Sint Willibrordusschool, both about 1.6 km away, a 20-minute walk or short bike ride. Kindcentrum openbare basisschool Hendrik Wester is also nearby at 1.8 km.
The home has an energy label C, which is average for a house built in 1934. In the neighbourhood, about 30% of homes have label C, and another 30% have a lower rating (D or below). Label C means reasonable insulation and moderate energy costs, but not as efficient as modern builds.
The plot is 453 m², which is generous for a detached house in this area. While the listing doesn't specify a garden, the size suggests plenty of outdoor space around the home. You can expect a private yard or garden, typical for a detached property of this era.
