About Kerkdijk 39, Hooge Zwaluwe
The price of €425,000 is in line with the market for detached homes in Drimmelen. The house has 130 m² of living space on a 305 m² plot, but the energy label G means you should expect high energy costs. The location is very rural and quiet, which may appeal to those seeking peace and space.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home is not energy-efficient and heating costs will be high. The house was built in 1960 and likely has poor insulation. You would need to invest in improvements to reduce energy bills.
The nearest train station is 9.4 km away, which is about a 15-minute drive. Public transport options are limited in this rural area, so a car is almost essential for commuting.
