About Beckumerstraat 157, Enschede
The asking price of €630,000 is 21% above the neighbourhood average of €520,167. However, the house is also 32% smaller than the average home in Dorp Boekelo (110 m² vs 162 m²). The price per square metre works out at about €5,727, which is higher than the neighbourhood average of €3,412 per m². So it's a premium for a character property in a village setting.
The home has energy label C. This means it has reasonable insulation and energy efficiency, but not the highest standards. In the neighbourhood, 21.4% of homes have label C, while 50% have label A or better. You can expect moderate heating costs, but improvements could be made to reduce energy use.
The plot measures 424 m². The listing does not specify a garden, terrace or outdoor space, so you would need to see the property to understand how the land is used. The plot is larger than the house footprint, so there is likely some outdoor space, but this is not confirmed.
There are two primary schools within walking distance: De Marcellinus at 280 m and Openbare basisschool Molenbeek at 669 m. For secondary education, the nearest school is 4.9 km away, so a bike or car is needed. There are also several other primary schools within 5 km.
The nearest train station is 6.9 km from the home. This is a significant distance, so you would rely on a car, bike or bus to reach it. The area has a low address density (402 addresses per km²), indicating a rural setting where driving is common.
Dorp Boekelo has a balanced population: 18% are children under 15, and 27% are 65 or older. There are 410 households with children and 445 without. The area is quiet with low crime, and there are parks and a GP nearby. It's a village environment with a mix of ages.
In the past period, sold homes in Dorp Boekelo had an average listing time of 41 days. This is a moderate pace, suggesting a balanced market. The current asking price is above average, so it may take longer to sell compared to more priced homes.
