Molenwijk, Katwijk
NeighbourhoodThis detached house on Valkenburgseweg sits in a quiet, green part of Katwijk. With 160 m² of living space and a 270 m² plot, it offers plenty of room for a family. The home dates from 1960 and has an E energy label, so heating costs are something to budget for. Priced at €1,135,000, it is on the high side compared to recent sales in the neighbourhood, where the average was €495,000, but those were different property types. For context, detached houses in Katwijk are rare, which partly explains the premium.

About Valkenburgseweg 10, Katwijk (Zh)
The asking price is €1,135,000. Recent sales in Molenwijk averaged €495,000, but those were for different property types, mainly apartments and terraced houses. Detached homes are scarce in Katwijk, so this one commands a premium. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value space and a quiet, green setting.
The energy label is E. This means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, so you can expect higher gas and electricity bills compared to a home with a better label. It may be worth considering improvements such as insulation or solar panels to reduce costs over time.
The nearest train station is 5.9 km away. That is about a 15-minute drive or a longer bike ride. For daily commuting, a car or bus may be more practical.
