Especially three old men do a lot of gossiping and decide whether I could smoke in my own house, whether I could have cats, and there is a lot of nagging and backbiting. I was also more or less bullied away. When I first moved here as a "youngster," I volunteered for others, but when I had a severe stroke 6 months ago, they literally stood by and watched. Since then, I have lost trust in the fellow residents here.

About Sprencklaan 5, Middelburg
The asking price of €899,000 is on the high side compared to other vrijstaande woningen in Middelburg. However, with 199 m² of living space and a 582 m² plot, you get a lot of square metres for your money. The energy label C means moderate efficiency, so heating costs will be reasonable but not minimal.
Seislaan is a quiet, predominantly older neighbourhood with many residents aged 65 and over. It has a very high address density, so it feels urban, but the streets are calm. One resident mentioned a somewhat gossipy atmosphere among some older neighbours, but that's just one opinion. The area has good access to shops and schools.
The nearest train station is 1.8 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short cycle ride. That makes it feasible for commuting to other cities, though you'd likely need a bike or car for the last leg.
Several schools are within walking distance. The Herman Faukeliusschool (primary) is about 364 m away, and De Aquamarijn (primary) is 467 m. For secondary education, CSW Toorop Talentcollege is 487 m away. There's also a special education school, OdyZee, at 447 m.
The home has energy label C, which is average for a house of this age (built in 1950). It means the property is reasonably well-insulated but not top-tier. You can expect moderate energy bills, but improvements like better insulation or solar panels could bring costs down.
The exact size and layout of the garden are not specified, but with a plot that size, there is plenty of outdoor space for a family.
