At €389,000 for 153 m² on a 304 m² plot, the price is in line with the market for detached homes in Súdwest-Fryslân. The house is from 1860 with energy label D, so you'll have higher heating costs than a modern home, but the character and space are part of the appeal.

The energy label is D, which means the home is not particularly energy-efficient. You can expect higher energy bills compared to a home with label A or B. The listing does not include details on insulation or heating system, so you would need to check those yourself.

The nearest train station is 7.1 km away, so you'll need a car or bike to get there. It's not a walkable distance for daily commuting.

The closest primary school is Ontmoetingsschool De Oanrin, just 248 metres away, an easy walk. There are several other primary schools within a few kilometres, but secondary schools are about 6.8 km away, so older children will need transport.

Arum is a small village with only 16 recorded crimes in total, which is very low. It's a quiet, rural area where most people know each other.

The plot is 304 m², but the listing does not specify whether there is a garden. The house is detached, so there is outdoor space, but you would need to confirm the exact layout with the agent.
