Retranchement, Sluis
NeighbourhoodThis 1919 semi-detached house on Dorpsstraat sits in the quiet village of Retranchement, a stone's throw from the Belgian border. With 166 m² of living space and a 635 m² plot, it offers generous proportions for a home of this era. The energy label A is a pleasant surprise for a century-old property. At €895,000, the price is on the high side compared to other semi-detached houses in Sluis, but the size and efficiency help explain it.
Retranchement is one of the smallest villages in Zeeland, with just 135 residents. It's a place where most people live alone or as couples, only 20% of households have children. The population skews older, with 55 residents aged 65 or over. There are no neighbourhood reviews available, so it's hard to get a resident's perspective, but the village is known for its historic fortifications and peaceful atmosphere. The municipality Sluis covers a wide rural area, so amenities are spread out.

About Dorpsstraat 6, Retranchement
The price is on the high side compared to other semi-detached homes in Sluis, but this property is larger than average (166 m²) and has an excellent energy label A, which is rare for a 1919 house. The 635 m² plot also adds value. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value space and efficiency in a rural setting.
Energy label A is very efficient, especially for a house built in 1919. It means the home has good insulation, efficient heating, and likely double glazing. You can expect low energy costs compared to older homes with poor labels. The exact consumption depends on usage, but label A is a strong selling point.
Retranchement is a tiny, quiet village with only 135 residents. It's ideal if you value peace and space, most homes are detached or semi-detached. The population is older, so it's not a place with much nightlife. Amenities are limited: the nearest supermarket is 4.3 km away, and a train station is 58 km. A car is essential.
The nearest primary school is 3.7 km away, and secondary education is 8.9 km. For groceries, the closest supermarkets (Jumbo and Aldi) are about 4.2 km away in Sluis. A restaurant is just 300 metres from the house, and a park is 200 metres away. All distances are by road.
The plot is 635 m², which typically includes the house and surrounding land. While the listing does not explicitly mention a garden, the size suggests there is outdoor space. You would need to confirm the exact layout with the agent.
