About W.H. Bosgrastraat 108, Oude Pekela
The asking price is about 50% above the neighbourhood average of €286,938, but this home is also 44% larger than the typical house in Oude Pekela (209 m² vs 145 m²). Detached homes with a plot of nearly 4000 m² are rare, so the premium reflects the extra space and land. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value that extra room and privacy.
The home has energy label C. That means it's reasonably efficient but not top-of-the-line. You can expect moderate energy costs, though not as low as with an A-label home. The neighbourhood has a mix of labels: about 30% are C, and another 30% are D or lower, so this home is around average for the area.
The plot measures 3970 m², which is exceptionally large for a home in Oude Pekela. It gives you plenty of outdoor space for gardening, play, or even extending the house (subject to planning permission). The exact layout and condition of the garden are not described in the listing, so you'd need to see it for yourself.
Oude Pekela is a quiet, family-friendly neighbourhood with many young people and a secondary school nearby. Residents describe it as cosy and clean, with good access to nature.

The nearest train station is 5.4 km away. That's about a ten-minute drive or a longer bike ride. For daily commuting by train, you'd likely need a car or bike to reach the station.
The closest supermarket is Poiesz at 1.8 km, with Aldi and Jumbo also within 2 km. A restaurant is just 0.8 km away, and a park or public garden is 0.6 km from the home. For daily shopping, you're well covered without needing to drive far.
The house was built in 1980, so it's over 40 years old. With energy label C, it's likely had some updates but may benefit from further improvements. The listing doesn't mention any recent renovations, so you should budget for potential maintenance or upgrades.
