About De Valouwe 30, Appelscha
The asking price of €325,000 is in line with the market for detached houses in Ooststellingwerf. The home has 92 m² of living space and a large plot of 549 m², which adds value. Energy label C is average for a house of this age. Without specific neighbourhood sales data, the price appears reasonable for what is on offer.
The energy label is C, which means the home is reasonably energy-efficient. You can expect moderate heating costs, but improvements like better insulation or double glazing could bring it up to a higher label. The exact energy performance is not detailed in the listing.
