About Moleneind 3, Chaam

Recently sold homes in the area went for an average of €1,042,841, so the price is in line with what similar large, characterful properties have achieved.
The house was built in 1830, making it one of the older properties in the neighbourhood, where 30.8% of homes date from before 1945. An older home often means solid construction but may require more maintenance. The energy label E indicates that heating costs will be higher than in a modern home.
The energy label is E, which is below average for the neighbourhood: 50% of homes here have label B or better. Label E means the home is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher energy bills. Improvements like insulation or solar panels could bring the label up.
The plot is 929 m², which is generous. The house itself covers 681 m², so there is plenty of outdoor space. The listing does not specify a garden, but the plot size suggests room for a garden, patio, or even a small annexe, subject to planning permission.
