Platteweg 13

A detached home with character

This detached house on Platteweg in Scharendijke has a lived-in feel that comes with a 1920s build. With 100 m² of floor space it is compact for a detached home, and the 355 m² plot gives you room to breathe. The asking price of €425,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average, partly because detached homes are scarce here. For context, detached houses in Schouwen-Duiveland typically command a premium.

Scharendijke: a quiet village by the sea

Scharendijke is a small village with just over 1,100 residents, many of whom are older, a third are 65 or over. It is a place where almost everyone lives in a single-family home (96%) and most own their property (73%). The streets are quiet, with very few cars and hardly any through traffic. One resident says: "It is wonderfully quiet here, and you can walk to the Grevelingenmeer in ten minutes." Another adds: "The village has a strong community spirit, with an active village association." These are based on two reviews. The neighbourhood is not urban at all, the address density is very low. Scharendijke is a place where you know your neighbours.

Daily life on Platteweg

For your morning bread, the PLUS supermarket is just around the corner, a five-minute walk away. The local primary school, Helcherseeschool, is even closer, on your doorstep.

The village is part of municipality Schouwen-Duiveland, which covers the whole island and its many cycling and walking routes.
