Frequently asked questions
About Lithse Dijk 50, Lith
Is €1,295,000 a fair price for this house?
The asking price is 72% above the neighbourhood average of €751,413, but this home is exceptional: 334 m² of living space (61% larger than the average 208 m²) on a 1,032 m² plot, with a historic character from 1686. The average price per m² in Lith is €3,703, so the price reflects the size and uniqueness. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value the extra space and history.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is D. In the neighbourhood, 43.5% of homes have label A and 30.4% have label B, so this home is less efficient than much of the local stock. A D label means higher energy costs than a modern home, but given the age (1686), it is not unusual. You can expect to spend more on heating and electricity compared to a newer property.
How old is the house and what condition is it in?
The house was built in 1686, making it over 330 years old. In the neighbourhood, 25% of homes date from before 1945, so this is one of the oldest. The listing does not specify the condition, but one neighbourhood review mentions a house in poor condition with a renovation planned for early 2025.
What is the neighbourhood like for families?
Lith has a mix of families and older residents, with 40% of households having children. Reviews are mixed: some residents appreciate the friendly community and that children can play outside, while others note there is little for young children to do and that traffic can be fast. There is a primary school within walking distance, but secondary schools are 8.7 km away.
How far is the nearest train station?
The nearest train station is 9.1 km away. This makes the house less suitable for daily commuting by train unless you drive or cycle to the station. The area is car-dependent, with most amenities within walking distance but public transport limited.
What are the running costs for a house this size?
Running costs depend on energy use, maintenance, and local taxes. With 334 m² and an energy label D, heating and electricity bills will be higher than average. The plot of 1,032 m² also means garden maintenance. No specific figures are given in the listing, but you should budget for significant utility costs and ongoing upkeep of an old property.
Is there a garden or outdoor space?
The plot size is 1,032 m², which typically includes garden space around the house. The listing does not explicitly mention a garden, but the large plot suggests ample outdoor area. You would need to verify the exact layout and condition with the agent.
How many bedrooms does the house have?
The listing does not state the number of bedrooms. With 334 m² of living space, it is likely to have several, but the exact layout is not provided. You would need to check the floor plan or contact the agent for details.
