The asking price of €275,000 is in line with the market for semi-detached houses in Midden-Drenthe. The home has a floor area of 74 m² and a large plot of 699 m², which adds value. However, the E energy label means higher energy costs, so factor that into your budget.

Nieuw-Balinge is a small, quiet village with mostly families and older residents. Almost all homes are single-family houses, and the area has a very low address density, so it feels rural and peaceful. Crime is minimal, with only 3 incidents reported.

The nearest supermarket is a SPAR about 6.5 km away. There are also a Lidl and PLUS within 8 km. A car is essential for grocery shopping, as there are no supermarkets within walking distance.

The closest school is IKC Meester Siebering, a primary school just 200 m away. Other primary schools are in Drijber (4.4 km) and Hoogeveen (about 5 km). For secondary education, the nearest is 9.2 km away, so a longer commute is needed.

The nearest train station is 12 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You would need a car or bus to reach it.

The home has an energy label E, which is below average. This means higher heating and electricity costs compared to more efficient homes. You may want to consider improvements like insulation or solar panels to reduce bills.

The plot is 699 m², which is very large. While the listing does not explicitly mention a garden, the size of the plot suggests there is ample outdoor space, likely including a garden. You can confirm the exact layout with the agent.

The house was built in 1974, so it is about 50 years old. This means it may have original features but also potential maintenance needs. The E energy label reflects the age, so updating the heating system or insulation could improve efficiency.
