About Prins Bernhardstraat 10, Ooij
The asking price of €625,000 matches the median sale price in Ooij exactly, which suggests it is in line with the local market. The average price per square metre for homes currently for sale is €4,450, and this house works out at about €4,960 per m², slightly above average, but the plot of 420 m² adds value. Recently sold homes in the area went for an average of €481,696, so the asking price is on the higher side, but the property is larger than many of those sold.
The home has an energy label D, which is average for a house built in 1959. In the neighbourhood, about 43% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is typical. A D label means heating costs will be moderate, not as efficient as modern homes, but not excessively high either. You may want to consider improvements like better insulation or a more efficient heating system to reduce energy bills over time.
The nearest train station is 7.6 km from the home. That's about a 15-minute drive or a 30-minute bike ride.
The closest primary school is Basisschool Op Weg, just 125 metres away, a two-minute walk. Other primary schools within a few kilometres include IIKC De Vonkenmorgen (3 km) and Integraal kindcentrum de Tichelaar (3 km). For secondary education, the nearest school is about 5.6 km away, so older children will need to travel further, likely by bike or bus.
Ooij is a quiet village with only 23 recorded incidents in the area, which is very low. The population is a mix of families and older residents, and the streets are peaceful. Most homes are owner-occupied, which often contributes to a stable and well-maintained neighbourhood.
The plot measures 420 m², which is generous for a detached house. The garden is not described in the listing, but the size gives you plenty of outdoor space for gardening, play or relaxation. You could potentially extend the home, subject to planning permission, but the current layout and garden details are not provided.
Within a five-minute walk (about 500 metres), you have a SPAR supermarket, a GP practice, a restaurant, a library, and a primary school. The village centre is compact, so daily errands are easy on foot. For larger supermarkets like PLUS or Albert Heijn, you'll need to drive about 3 km.
The house was built in 1959, so it's over 60 years old. The energy label D suggests it may not have modern insulation or double glazing throughout. While the listing doesn't mention recent renovations, a home of this age often benefits from updates to the heating system, windows or roof. You should budget for potential maintenance, but the exact condition is not stated.
