Ossenzijl, Steenwijkerland
NeighbourhoodThis detached house on Oudeweg sits in the quiet village of Ossenzijl, surrounded by the lush landscape of northwestern Overijssel. With a floor area of 54 m², it is compact but sits on a generous 620 m² plot. The home dates from 1950 and has an F energy label, so heating costs will be something to budget for. Priced at €419,000, it is above the neighbourhood average of €397,600, but the large plot and detached character make it a distinctive offering compared to other detached houses in Steenwijkerland.
Ossenzijl is a small village with about 485 residents, where most homes are owner-occupied (86%) and nearly all are single-family houses. The population is older, with a third aged 65 or over, and households without children outnumber those with children. There are no neighbourhood reviews available, but the low crime rate (9 incidents) and rural setting suggest a peaceful community. The village has a low address density, so you will enjoy plenty of space and quiet. This is a place where neighbours know each other, and life moves at a slower pace. The municipality Steenwijkerland oversees the area, which includes the nearby Weerribben-Wieden National Park.
For daily shopping, the nearest supermarket is the PLUS, about 3.9 km away, a short drive. There is a restaurant just around the corner, and a park or public garden is a five-minute walk away. The local primary school, Christelijk Kindcentrum Eben Haëzer, is within walking distance, making it convenient for families with young children. Secondary education is further afield,. A GP is 5.1 km away, and the nearest train station is 13.5 km, so a car is essential for most errands.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including De Boer + Ten Hoeve Makelaardij o.g., Pararius, and Funda.

About Oudeweg 21, Ossenzijl
The asking price of €419,000 is above the neighbourhood average of €397,600 and the median of €359,500. However, the house sits on a large 620 m² plot, which is uncommon for the area. The average price per m² in the neighbourhood is €2,739, but this home's small floor area (54 m²) means the price per m² is higher. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value the land.
Energy label F indicates poor energy efficiency. The home is likely to have high heating costs, especially given its 1950 construction. In the neighbourhood, 60% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area. You may want to consider insulation upgrades to improve comfort and reduce bills.
The plot measures 620 m², which is generous for a house of this size. It offers plenty of outdoor space for gardening, a patio, or even extending the home (subject to planning permission). The exact layout and condition of the garden are not described in the listing, so you would need to view it to assess its potential.
