About Het Fort 36, De Kwakel
At €375,000, this is the cheapest home currently for sale in Meerwijk and 42% below the neighbourhood average of €650,824. However, the living area is only 49 m², 63% smaller than the average of 132 m², and the energy label is F. The price reflects the compact size and poor energy efficiency, so it is in line with what you would expect for a small, older detached house.
The energy label is F, which is poor. In the neighbourhood, only 27.8% of homes have a label D or lower, so this home is less efficient than most. You can expect higher heating bills compared to a better-insulated home. The label is based on the original 1972 construction, so improvements like insulation or a new heating system could make a big difference.
The plot is 343 m², which is generous for a home of this size. The garden is not described in the listing, but the plot size suggests there is outdoor space. You could potentially extend the house (subject to planning permission) or use the garden for recreation. The exact layout and condition of the garden are not stated.
Meerwijk is a quiet, low-density residential area with mostly single-family homes. 70% of homes are owner-occupied, and the population includes many families and older residents. The area has a low crime rate (67 total offences) and is well away from busy city centres. It is a typical suburban village neighbourhood.
The nearest train station is 11.3 km away, so commuting by train is not convenient. You would need a car or bus to reach the station. The area is better suited for driving or cycling locally.
Yes, the nearest primary school, RK Basisschool De Zon, is 545 metres away, a short walk. Several other primary schools are within 2 km. Secondary schools are about 2.2 km away, so children would need to cycle or be driven.
