About Potdijk 8C007, Markelo
The asking price of €165,000 is on the keen side for a detached house in this area, especially given the modern build year of 2008 and the 382 m² plot. However, the living area is compact at 58 m², so the price reflects the trade-off between a small interior and a generous outdoor space.
The energy label is C, which means the home has reasonable energy efficiency. You can expect moderate heating costs, but it's not as efficient as newer builds with labels A or B. The house was built in 2008, so it likely has decent insulation and double glazing.
The nearest train station is 6.6 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You would need a car or bicycle to reach it, making this home more suitable for those who rely on private transport.
There are several primary schools within a few kilometres: Basisschool de Welp (1.6 km), Basisschool de Zwaluw (1.6 km), and Basisschool Elserike (2 km). For secondary education, the nearest school is 6.1 km away, so older children would need to travel further.

The plot is 382 m², which includes the house and garden. The exact layout of the garden is not specified, but the size suggests plenty of outdoor space for gardening, relaxation, or even a small shed.
The nearest supermarkets are PLUS and Dirk, both about 1.9 km away. A GP is 2.5 km away, and a restaurant is 1.4 km. Most daily needs are within a short drive, but the area is car-dependent.
