Oud-Wassenaar, Wassenaar
AreaA grand country house on the edge of the woods
Tucked away on a quiet lane in Oud-Wassenaar, this detached house from 1930 feels like a world of its own. The setting is remarkably green, with the forest and park right on the doorstep and open views all around. It is a peaceful, private spot, yet The Hague is close by and Amsterdam is a half-hour drive away. With a price of €6,900,000, this home sits well above the typical asking prices for detached houses in Wassenaar, so it is on the high side of the market.

How does the asking price compare to the WOZ value?
The asking price of €6,900,000 is 40% above the WOZ value of €4,939,000, which was set on 1 January 2025. The WOZ value is the municipal valuation for tax purposes, not the current market value.

What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is B, which is an efficient label. This means the home is relatively energy-efficient compared to the least efficient labels, so you can expect moderate energy costs. The agent also mentions roof insulation, double glazing and wall insulation, which contribute to the home's energy performance. The label is a fact, not a judgement on the condition of the property.
What is the foundation risk for this address?
The foundation risk indication for this address is medium, based on public data. This is because the house was built in 1930, before 1970, and 86% of properties in this postcode area date from before that year. The soil type is sand. This is an area-level indication, not an inspection of this specific home, so it does not say anything definitive about the foundation of this particular house.

The noise level from road traffic is 52 dB Lden, which is above the Dutch noise norm. Rail traffic noise is 30 dB Lden and air traffic noise is 38 dB Lden, both below the norm.
