About Kerkstraat 31, Arcen
At 362 m² on a 1,390 m² plot, the price works out to about €2,750 per m². That's on the high side for a detached home in this area, but the large plot and village-centre location add value. Without comparable sales data for the neighbourhood, it's hard to say exactly, but the size and character are unique.
The energy label is C, which is average for a 1935 home. It means the home is reasonably well-insulated but not as efficient as a modern build. You can expect moderate energy costs, but older homes often have higher heating bills in winter.
The SPAR is just 273 metres away, so you can walk there in a few minutes. For a larger supermarket, the nearest Albert Heijn is about 6.6 km away in Venlo, which is a short drive.
There are three primary schools within 5 km: Basisschool De Bottel (2.1 km), De Schakel (2.4 km) and De Wegwijzer (3.2 km). For secondary education, the nearest school is 11.4 km away, so older children will need to travel.
Kern Arcen is a quiet, rural village with a strong sense of community. Most homes are owner-occupied single-family houses. It's popular with families and older residents. The area has very low crime (55 incidents total) and a peaceful atmosphere.
The nearest train station is 13.6 km away, so you'll need a car or bus for public transport connections. The station is likely in Venlo or a nearby town.
The plot is 1,390 m², which is very generous for a village-centre home. The listing does not specify a garden, but with that much land, there is plenty of outdoor space.
