About Vlietweg 1, Leiden
The price is on the high side for a detached home in Leiden, but the size (250 m²) and plot (465 m²) are exceptional. Without comparable sales in the immediate neighbourhood, it's hard to say exactly how it stacks up, but the combination of a large pre-war house and a generous garden plot is rare in this part of the city.
Label G is the least efficient rating, so you can expect high energy bills, especially for heating. The house dates from 1935 and likely has poor insulation and single glazing. Budgeting for significant improvements would be sensible if you want to reduce energy use.
The nearest train station is 2.0 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short cycle. Leiden's main station offers connections to Amsterdam, The Hague and Utrecht.
Primary schools De Astronaut and Montessorischool Apollo are both within a five-minute walk. For secondary education, Het Vlietland College is just 474 m away. There are also special education schools within 1 km.
Oostvliet recorded 66 total offences, which is low for an urban area. The neighbourhood is quiet and green, with a park nearby. The population is small (375 residents), and the area feels residential and peaceful.
The plot is 465 m², which is generous for a detached home in Leiden. The listing does not specify the garden layout, but the size suggests plenty of outdoor space. You would need to view the property to see the exact condition and orientation.
