About Harfsense Steeg 34, Harfsen
The asking price of €785,000 is on the high side compared to other detached homes in Lochem. However, the plot of over 20,000 m² is exceptionally large, which justifies the premium. Without comparable sales data for the immediate neighbourhood, it is hard to say exactly how the price relates to the market, but the size of the land is a key factor.
Energy label G is the least efficient rating, so you can expect high heating costs. The house was built in 1930 and likely has poor insulation. You would need to invest in improvements like insulation, double glazing, or a modern heating system to reduce energy use. The exact costs depend on usage and future upgrades.
The nearest train station is 9.9 km away, so you would need a car or bicycle to reach it. This makes the house less suitable for daily commuting by public transport. The station itself is not named in the listing, but the distance is given.
The closest primary school is the Julianaschool, about 2.6 km away. Other primary schools within five kilometres include OBS Beatrixschool, De Bargeweide, OBS Villa60, and Joppeschool. For secondary education, the nearest school is 9.2 km away, so a longer commute is needed.
The neighbourhood recorded 23 total crimes in the latest data, which is low for a rural area. The population is around 1,055, and the area is very quiet. There are no resident reviews available, but the low crime figures suggest a safe environment.
Mortgage eligibility depends on your income and the property's value. Since the house has an energy label G, some lenders may require a higher down payment or offer less favourable terms. It is best to consult a mortgage advisor for a personal assessment.
