About Lekdijk 10, Schalkwijk
The price is on the high side compared to other detached houses in Houten, but the plot of 12,235 m² is exceptionally large for this property type. The home itself has 129 m² of living space, a 1995 build, and energy label B. Whether the price is fair depends on how much you value the land.
The energy label is B, which means the home is reasonably energy-efficient. You can expect lower heating costs compared to older homes with poorer labels, but it is not as efficient as the most modern standards.
The nearest train station is 4.1 km away, which is about a ten-minute drive or a longer cycle ride. This makes commuting by train feasible but not within walking distance.
The nearest primary school is CBS Koningin Beatrixschool at 1.3 km, and there are several other primary schools within a few kilometres. For secondary education, the closest is 4.4 km away, so older children will need transport.
The plot measures 12,235 m², which is very large for a detached house. It offers plenty of space for gardening, outdoor activities, or even keeping animals, subject to local regulations. The exact possibilities depend on zoning rules.
