About Potdijk 8C13, Markelo
The asking price of €142,500 is on the keen side for a detached house in this municipality, especially given the large plot of 545 m². The home is compact at 58 m², so the price reflects the land value more than the living space. Compared to other detached homes in Hof van Twente, it's a relatively affordable option.
The home has energy label C, which is average for a house built in 2009. You can expect moderate energy costs, not as low as an A-label, but far better than an old, uninsulated home. The exact running costs depend on your usage and energy provider.
The nearest train station is 6.6 km away. That's about a 10-minute drive or a longer bike ride.
There are several primary schools within a few kilometres: Basisschool de Welp (1.5 km), Basisschool de Zwaluw (1.5 km), and Basisschool Elserike (2 km). For secondary education, the nearest school is about 6 km away, so a daily commute by bike or bus is needed.
