Gnephoek, Alphen aan den Rijn
NeighbourhoodThis detached house on 's-Molenaarsweg sits in the green fringe of Alphen aan den Rijn, where the landscape opens up to meadows and water. With 77 m² of living space, it is compact, 35% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 118 m², but the plot of 95 m² gives you some outdoor space. The asking price of €425,000 is on the high side compared to the average of €550,000 in the area, but that reflects the rarity of this property type: there is only one other home for sale in Gnephoek. For context, detached houses in Alphen aan den Rijn are scarce.

A beautiful environment, rural and water for plenty of living pleasure. The amenities are somewhat lacking. Poor street lighting and no drains. When it freezes or snows, no gritting is done. There is a lot of agricultural traffic, which is too large and too heavy and not suitable for the road that is there.
