About Lyclamaweg 38, Makkinga
The asking price of €599,000 is on the high side compared to other vrijstaande woningen in Ooststellingwerf. However, the large plot of 872 m² is a notable feature that may justify the premium. Without comparable sales data for the immediate neighbourhood, it is difficult to say exactly how the price relates to the local market.
Energy label D indicates average energy efficiency. The home was built in 1950, so it may have older insulation and heating systems. You can expect moderate energy bills, but improvements such as better insulation or a more efficient heating system could reduce costs. The exact running costs depend on usage and future upgrades.
The nearest train station is 19.2 km away, so this home is not well suited for daily commuting by rail. A car is essential for most travel, including to the station.
The closest primary school is Openbare Basisschool "de Stelling", just 230 m away. Two other primary schools are within 5 km: de Twirrewyn (4.1 km) and It Butenplak (5 km). For secondary education, the nearest school is 5.8 km away.
