About Oshaarseweg 24-104, Echten (Dr)
The asking price of €175,000 is on the low side compared to other detached houses in De Wolden, especially given the large plot of 607 m². However, the home is compact at 52 m² and has an E energy label, which may mean higher running costs. The price reflects the property's size and energy performance, so it's a trade-off between space and efficiency.
The energy label is E, which is below average for a home of this age. This means you can expect higher heating bills compared to a more efficient home. The house was built in 1975, so insulation may not be up to modern standards.
The plot measures 607 m², which is generous for a home of this size. It offers plenty of outdoor space for gardening, recreation, or even extending the house, subject to planning permission. The exact layout and condition of the garden are not described in the listing.
The nearest supermarket is SPAR at 678 metres, and a Coop is 3.7 km away. Primary schools are within 2-5 km, including Basisschool De Rozebottel and KC Het Veldboeket. The nearest train station is 8.6 km away, so a car is useful. Restaurants are close at 1 km, but a library and park are further afield.
The neighbourhood is very quiet with a rural character. About 25% of households have children, and there are primary schools within a few kilometres. The area has low crime and a mix of ages, but secondary education is 8.4 km away, so older children may need to travel.
The nearest train station is 8.6 km away, so public transport is limited. A car is almost essential for commuting or accessing secondary schools and larger towns.
The price is relatively low for a detached house in De Wolden, and the large plot adds potential value. However, the E energy label and compact size may limit rental demand or resale appeal. The neighbourhood is quiet and rural, which suits some buyers but not all.
