Frequently asked questions
About Rijksstraatweg 128, Glimmen
Was €1,575,000 a fair price for this house?
The asking price of €1,575,000 was on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average. However, the plot of 8385 m² is exceptionally large for a detached house in this area, which justifies the premium. The energy label B also helped keep running costs moderate. Without comparable sales data, it was best to view the price as reflecting the unique land size.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is B, which is an official registration from EP-Online. It does not directly tell you about the insulation or heating system, but it is a good starting point for estimating utility bills.
How big is the plot and what can I do with it?
The plot measures 8385 m², which is very generous for a detached house. This gives you plenty of space for a large garden, outdoor activities, or even extending the house (subject to planning permission). The exact layout and condition of the garden were not described in the listing.

How far are schools and shops?
The nearest primary school, IKC Quintusschool, is 1.4 km away. For groceries, the closest supermarkets are Jumbo and Lidl, both about 4.3 km. Secondary education is available at Drenthe College Terra, 4 km away. The train station is 5.4 km from the house.
