About Rijksstraatweg 6, Elst (Ut)
With 96 m² of living space and a 255 m² plot, the price is in line with the market for vrijstaande woningen in Rhenen. The A+++ energy label adds value because running costs will be low. There's no neighbourhood price data to compare directly, but given the size and efficiency, it's a reasonable asking price.
An A+++ label is the highest possible, meaning the home is extremely energy-efficient. For a 1930s house, that's unusual, it likely has top insulation, a heat pump, and solar panels. You can expect very low energy bills, though exact amounts depend on usage.
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, but the rural setting compensates with peace and quiet.
Two primary schools are within a five-minute walk: Daltonschool Elst (410 m) and School Met De Bijbel Het Visnet (476 m). For secondary education, the nearest school is 6.1 km away, so a longer commute is needed.
