Voorst, Voorst
NeighbourhoodThis detached house on Kerkstraat sits in the heart of Voorst, a village where life moves at a calmer pace. With 131 m² of living space and a generous 680 m² plot, it offers room to spread out. The asking price of €625,000 is keen compared to the neighbourhood average of €701,000, partly because the floor area is 37% smaller than the typical home here. For context, detached houses in Voorst tend to be larger and pricier.
Voorst is a small, tight-knit community with about 1,530 residents. Most homes are owner-occupied (57%) and the area feels rural, with a low address density of 273 per km². Based on one review, the experience is mixed: one resident says, "Despite having very unpleasant neighbours, we enjoy the surroundings of Voorst." The same reviewer notes that the neighbourhood has "ill-mannered neighbours" and describes intimidation over parking and cat issues. Still, the rural setting is appreciated. The neighbourhood of Voorst has a quiet, village character.
Daily errands are straightforward: the nearest supermarket, a SPAR, is about 4.5 km away, with a Coop and PLUS also within 5 km. For primary education, OBS J.H. Isings is around 2 km away, while secondary schools like Kompaan College are about 4 km. The train station is 1.6 km from the house, making commutes feasible. The area falls under the municipality of Voorst, which manages local services and planning.

Very good · 1 resident
My boyfriend and I moved into this neighbourhood at the end of June, into our first home. The first few weeks were all very nice and cosy until August. The owner of Voskamp Textiel intimidated me by contacting my employer because I parked a work van in front of her shop, which is laid out as a public parking space. I then reported this to enforcement and spoke to her personally about her behaviour, telling her they would come. In September there was the neighbourhood BBQ. Again we had a nice time with the neighbours, but that too was short-lived. After asking in the neighbourhood app if people could keep an eye on their cats because our garden was being used as a toilet by neighbourhood cats, I was intimidated by a few households who thought I should move back to the west. This intimidation continued in writing until Christmas Eve. Since then it has fortunately been a bit quieter. Despite having very unpleasant neighbours, we enjoy the surroundings of Voorst and unfortunately also enjoy our home a bit less because it has many hidden defects and costs a lot of money.

About Kerkstraat 14, Voorst (Gem. Voorst)
The asking price of €625,000 is below the neighbourhood average of €701,000 and the median of €710,000. However, the floor area of 131 m² is 37% smaller than the typical home in Voorst (208 m²). The price per m² works out to about €4,771, which is higher than the neighbourhood average of €3,728 per m². So while the total price is lower, you are paying a premium per square metre.
The neighbourhood recorded 23 total crimes, which is low for a village of this size. The resident review mentions some interpersonal conflicts, but these appear to be isolated incidents rather than a general safety concern. The area feels quiet and rural.
The nearest train station is 1.6 km from the house, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short cycle ride.
The nearest primary school is OBS J.H. Isings, about 2 km away. For secondary education, Kompaan College is roughly 4 km from the house. There are also several other primary and secondary schools within 5 km, including Jenaplanschool de Hoven and Suringarcollege.
The home has an energy label C, which is average for a house built in 1990. In the neighbourhood, 58.3% of homes have label C, so this is typical. Label C means the home is reasonably efficient but not as economical as A or B labels. You can expect moderate energy costs.
The plot measures 680 m², which is generous for a detached house. The listing does not specify a garden, but the size suggests plenty of outdoor space. You could potentially extend the house (subject to planning permission) or create a large garden.
This is a detached house built in 1990. Detached homes offer privacy and no shared walls. The 1990 build means it likely has cavity wall insulation and double glazing, though the energy label C suggests some improvements could be made.
