Kessel, Oss
NeighbourhoodThis detached house on Kesselse Dijk sits in a quiet part of Maren-Kessel, surrounded by farmland and open sky. With 194 m² of floor space on a generous 1543 m² plot, there is plenty of room inside and out. The house dates from 1900 and has an energy label G, so heating costs will be significant. The asking price of €875,000 is on the high side compared to other detached houses in Oss, partly because of the large plot.
Kessel is a tiny village with only 135 residents, almost all living in owner-occupied single-family homes. It is a rural, quiet area with hardly any traffic. The population is mixed: many older residents, but also families with children. There are no neighbourhood reviews available, so it is hard to say what residents think of living here. The village has a low crime rate, with just one recorded incident. For a sense of community, you would need to explore the Kessel neighbourhood yourself.
Daily shopping requires a drive: the nearest supermarket, a PLUS, is a couple of streets away. There are two primary schools within walking distance: RK Basisschool St Antonius and Tweestromen Basisschool. For secondary education, children need to travel 11.4 km. A restaurant is 1.6 km away, and a GP is 3.4 km. The area is very rural, so a car is essential. The municipality of Oss, which includes Maren-Kessel, offers more amenities and is about a ten-minute drive away. For more on the wider area, see the municipality of Oss.
At present the home is listed through several channels, including Heuvel Makelaars and Van den Heuvel Makelaars.

About Kesselse Dijk 20, Maren-Kessel
The price is on the high side compared to other detached houses in Oss, mainly because of the large plot of 1543 m². The house itself is 194 m² and needs modernisation, especially given the poor energy label G. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value the land and are willing to invest in upgrades.
Energy label G is the lowest rating, meaning the home is not energy-efficient. Heating and electricity bills will be high, especially in winter. The house dates from 1900 and likely has poor insulation. You should budget for significant energy costs and consider improvements like insulation, double glazing or a new heating system.
The nearest train station is 11.1 km away, so public transport is not convenient. A car is essential for commuting or getting to the station. The area is very rural with limited bus services.
There are two primary schools within walking distance: RK Basisschool St Antonius at 1.2 km and Tweestromen Basisschool at 1.5 km. For secondary education, the nearest school is 11.4 km away, so children would need to travel further.
Kessel has a very low crime rate, with only one recorded incident in the neighbourhood data. It is a quiet, rural village with few people and little traffic, so it feels safe. However, there are no neighbourhood reviews to confirm residents' experiences.
The plot measures 1543 m², which is very large for a detached house. It offers plenty of space for a garden, outdoor activities or even extensions, subject to planning permission. The exact layout and condition of the garden are not described in the listing.
The house was built in 1900, so it is over 120 years old. With an energy label G, it likely needs significant modernisation, such as insulation, new windows and possibly a new heating system. The listing does not mention recent renovations, so expect to invest in updates.
The nearest supermarket is a PLUS at 2.7 km, and another PLUS at 4.6 km. A Jumbo and other shops are within 5.5 km. For daily groceries, a car is needed. The village itself has no shops.
