Frequently asked questions
About Westerstraat 44, Ruinen (Gem. De Wolden)
Is €450,000 a fair price for this house?
The asking price of €450,000 is on the high side compared to other homes in Ruinen, but the large plot of 735 m² is a key factor. Detached houses in De Wolden vary, and this one's size and land make it stand out. Without recent sale data for this specific street, it's hard to say exactly, but the price reflects the generous outdoor space.
What does energy label G mean for my bills?
Energy label G is the least efficient label, so you can expect high heating and electricity costs. The label is an official registration (EP-Online) and doesn't tell you exactly what needs improvement, it could be the heating system, insulation, or both. It's worth budgeting for higher energy expenses.
How big is the garden?
The plot is 735 m², which is very spacious. The listing doesn't specify how much of that is garden, but with a plot this size, there's plenty of outdoor space. You'd need to see the property to judge the layout and how it's used.
What is the neighbourhood like?
Ruinen is a quiet village with a low population density. Most homes are owner-occupied single-family houses, and a large share of residents are over 65. It's not a bustling place, more suited to those who enjoy peace and nature. There are no recent resident reviews available.
How far is the nearest train station?
The nearest train station is 10.9 km away, so you'd need a car or bike to reach it. That makes this home less convenient for daily commuting by train, but fine if you drive.
Are there schools nearby?
The closest primary school, OBS de Wezeboom, is about 5.7 km away. There are a few others within 7-8 km. Secondary schools are much further, 11 km, so school runs will involve driving or cycling longer distances.
