Petten-Centrum en Korfwater, Schagen
NeighbourhoodThis detached house on Korfwaterweg sits in a quiet corner of Petten, with the dunes and sea just a short walk away. With 285 m² of living space on a generous 1175 m² plot, there is plenty of room for a large family or anyone who loves space. The home dates from 1953 and has an E energy label, so heating costs are something to budget for. At €1,200,000, the price is on the high side compared to other detached houses in Schagen, but the size and location are exceptional.

It is a quiet area with hardly any urban bustle (the address density is just 260 per km²). There are no resident reviews available, so we cannot share local opinions.

For daily shopping, the SPAR is just around the corner, about a five-minute walk away.

About Korfwaterweg 2, Petten
The price is on the high side compared to other detached homes in Schagen, but this property is unusually large with 285 m² of living space and a 1175 m² plot. The E energy label means higher running costs, which may affect the overall value. Without comparable sales data for this specific street, it is best to view the price in light of the generous size and quiet location.
The home has an energy label E, which is below average for a modern home. This means you can expect higher heating and electricity costs compared to a more efficient property. The house was built in 1953, so insulation may not be up to current standards. It is worth factoring in potential improvements to reduce energy bills.
The nearest train station is 12.7 km away, so this home is not ideal for daily commuting by rail. You would need a car or bus to reach the station. Petten is a rural village, and public transport connections are limited.
The closest primary school is Basisschool De Springschans, about 746 metres away, a short walk. There are two other primary schools within 5 km: Sint Joseph School and Openbare Basisschool De Brug. For secondary education, the nearest school is 12.1 km away, so older children would need to travel further.
Petten-Centrum en Korfwater is a very quiet, rural neighbourhood with a small population of 655. Most homes are detached (88%), and the area has a low crime rate (19 total offences). It is popular with older residents, with a third of the population aged 65 or over. There are no shops or cafes immediately on the street, but the village centre is within walking distance.
The plot is 1175 m², which is very generous. However, the listing does not specify whether this includes a garden, patio, or other outdoor space. Given the size, there is likely ample outdoor area, but you would need to confirm the exact layout with the agent.
