Het Heem 18

The asking price is 95% above the average asking price in the neighbourhood (€320,220). However, this home is much larger than typical: 213 m² versus 72 m² on average. The price per square metre works out to about €2,934, which is below the neighbourhood average of €4,812 per m². So while the total price is high, you are getting significantly more space for your money.

Energy label D is average for an older home. In this neighbourhood, most homes have better labels: about 44% have A or B, and 51% have C. Label D means heating costs will be higher than in a modern home, but it is not the worst. The home was built in 1972, so some insulation upgrades may have been done.

The nearest train station is 45.4 km away. This is a very rural area, so a car is essential for long-distance travel. The station is likely in a larger town such as Middelburg or Vlissingen.

The neighbourhood has a mix of households: 40% are couples with children, 40% are singles, and 75% are couples without children. There are 20 children under 15, so it is not a family-heavy area. The primary schools are a few kilometres away, and secondary education is further. It is a quiet, rural setting rather than a bustling family community.

The plot is 620 m², which is generous for a detached home. The listing does not specify a garden, but the size suggests plenty of outdoor space. You could potentially extend the house or add a shed, subject to planning permission. The area is not densely built, so privacy is good.
