Julianastraat 2

The asking price is 60% above the neighbourhood average of €516,600, and it is the most expensive of the five homes currently for sale in Diessen. However, with 349 m² of living space, it is also 171% larger than the average home in the area (129 m²). The price per square metre works out at about €2,364, which is below the neighbourhood average of €4,210 per m². So while the total price is high, you get a lot of space for your money.

The energy label is F, which is poor. In the neighbourhood, most homes for sale have labels A or B (57%), and none are rated D or lower. An F label means the home is not well insulated and will have high heating costs. You would need to invest in improvements like insulation, double glazing or a new heating system to bring it up to modern standards.

The plot is 1,645 m², which is very generous for a village location. The listing does not specify a garden, but with a plot this size, there is plenty of outdoor space. You could potentially extend the house, add a garage, or create a large garden, subject to planning permission from the municipality of Hilvarenbeek.

The PLUS supermarket is just 333 m away, so daily shopping is on your doorstep. A GP and a primary school (Kindcentrum Willibrordus) are both about 600 m away. There is also a restaurant 700 m from the home. For secondary education, the nearest school is 11.4 km away, so children would need to travel further.

The nearest train station is 13.2 km away, so commuting by train is not convenient from this location. You would likely need a car for most journeys. The village itself is quiet, with low traffic, but for longer trips you rely on the road network.

Diessen recorded 54 crimes in the latest data, which is low for a village of this size. The area feels safe, with a strong community feel. Many residents are families or older people, and the streets are quiet.
