About Oosterend 63Y, Oosterend
The asking price of €825,000 is on the high side compared to other detached homes in Terschelling. However, the plot of 545 m² is unusually large for a house of this size, which partly justifies the premium. There are no recent sales figures for Oosterend itself, so it's hard to say exactly how the market values this combination of house and land.
The energy label is C, which is average for a house built in 2002. You can expect reasonable energy costs, but not as low as a modern A-label home. The label is based on the building's insulation and installations, so you may want to check the specific features like double glazing or heating system.
The nearest train station is 45 km away, which is on the mainland. To reach it, you would need to take the ferry from Terschelling to Harlingen, then continue by train. The ferry journey itself takes about 45 minutes, so commuting by train is not practical for daily use.
Oosterend is extremely safe. According to the latest data, there were zero reported crimes in the area. With only 125 residents and a very low population density, it's a quiet village where people know each other. This is typical for rural island communities.
The nearest primary school is Obs 't Hunnighouwersgat, about 7 km away in West-Terschelling. The closest secondary school is 't Schylger Jouw, also around 7 km. Both are within cycling distance for older children, but younger ones may need a lift or bus. There are no schools within 5 km of the house.
The plot measures 545 m², which is generous for a 94 m² house. It gives you plenty of outdoor space for a garden, patio, or even a small vegetable patch. The exact layout and boundaries are not specified, but the size offers flexibility for landscaping or outdoor activities.
