About Gasselterstraat 7-125, Drouwen
The price is on the high side for a 40 m² detached home in this area, but the rural location and plot size (80 m²) add value. Energy label E means higher heating costs, so factor that in. Compare with other vrijstaande woningen in Borger-Odoorn to see if it fits your budget.
The energy label is E, which is not very efficient. You can expect higher energy bills compared to a modern home. The listing does not mention insulation or heating system details, so it's worth checking the actual consumption figures if available.
The nearest train station is 18.3 km away, so this home is not ideal for daily commuting by rail. You would rely on a car or bus for longer journeys.
The closest primary school is OBS Ekkelhof, about 1 km away. Other options within 5 km include Openbare Basisschool De Dobbe (1.4 km) and C.K.C. De Borgh (3.9 km). For secondary education, the nearest school is 4.2 km away.
Yes, with only 11 recorded crimes in the area, it's a very safe neighbourhood. The low population density and rural character contribute to the peaceful atmosphere.
The listing does not specify any restrictions, but given the size (40 m²) and rural location, it could work as a permanent home for a single person or couple. Check with the municipality about any zoning rules for permanent residence.
