Molenesch 26

The asking price is 40% above the average asking price in the neighbourhood (€711,000) and it is the most expensive of the five homes currently for sale in 't Kip. However, the home is also 73% larger than the average home in the area (339 m² vs 196 m²), so the price per square metre is actually in line with the local average of €3,947/m². Whether it is fair depends on how you value the extra space and the detached character.

The home has energy label C. That is a solid middle-of-the-road rating, not as efficient as modern builds, but not a draughty old house either. In the neighbourhood, 20% of homes have label C, while 40% have label B and 20% have label A. You can expect reasonable energy costs, though not as low as a label A home.

The plot measures 1,029 m², which is generous for a detached home in this area. The listing does not specify whether there is a garden, but with a plot this size there is certainly outdoor space.

The train station is 1.2 km away, about a ten-minute walk. From Delden station you can reach Hengelo in around 10 minutes and Almelo in about 15 minutes. The station is on the line between Zwolle and Enschede, so connections to the east and west are good.

There are two schools within walking distance: IKC Magenta primary school (418 m, about a five-minute walk) and Het Twickel College Delden secondary school (309 m, about four minutes on foot). Both are well-regarded. A second primary school, IKC Erve Hooyerinck, is about 1 km away.
