About Stationsweg 129, Hillegom
The asking price is 84% above the neighbourhood average of €733,500, making it the most expensive of the ten homes currently for sale in Om de Zanderij. However, with 346 m² of floor space and a 4,978 m² plot, it is also by far the largest. The price per square metre works out at about €3,902, which is below the neighbourhood average of €4,655 per m². So while the total price is high, the value per square metre is actually in line with the market.
Energy label G is the lowest rating, so the home is not energy efficient. In the neighbourhood, 44% of homes have label A and none have label G among recent sales, so this house stands out. You can expect higher heating bills compared to a modern home. The exact costs depend on usage and the heating system, but label G typically means significant heat loss through walls, windows and roof.
The plot measures 4,978 m², which is exceptionally large for a home in this neighbourhood. The listing does not specify how the garden is laid out, but the size offers plenty of outdoor space. Whether you want a large lawn, vegetable beds or room for children to play, the land gives you options. Keep in mind that any major changes may require planning permission from the municipality.
