A harbour home on Terschelling
This semi-detached house on Havenstraat 5 sits in the heart of West-Terschelling, where the Wadden Sea breeze and the comings and goings of the harbour set the tone. The village is the main settlement on the island, with a friendly, close-knit feel that residents clearly value. At €910,000, the asking price is on the high side compared with other semi-detached houses in Terschelling, especially given the living area.
The house itself
Built in 1910, this home has five rooms and four bedrooms spread over its floors. The agent lists the living area at 160 m², while the BAG registration records 189 m². The plot measures 250 m² according to both sources. The energy label is D, which means you can expect moderate energy costs.

Nature very close by." The village counts about 2,470 inhabitants, with a high share of one-person households. It is a place where people know each other, and the island's nature is never far away. This is the municipality of Terschelling at its most characteristic.
Amenities and transport
Daily errands are easy: the SPAR supermarket is on your doorstep, and the PLUS is a bit further afield. Two primary schools, the Ds Vossersschool voor Christelijk Basisonderwijs and the Obs Prinses Margrietschool, are just around the corner. The GP practice is a five-minute walk away. For public transport, bus lines 1, 2 and 9 stop at West-Terschelling, Haven, just around the corner. The nearest train station is Harlingen Haven, which involves a ferry crossing. According to public address data, the noise level from road traffic is 48 dB Lden, which stays below the standard. The foundation risk indication is medium, partly because the home was built before 1970 and 83% of properties in this postcode area date from before that year; the soil type is sand. Pluvial flooding at heavy rain is elevated, as is the current flood risk, and this remains elevated for 2050. Heat stress is currently low but is expected to become medium by 2050. These are area-level indications, not an inspection of this specific home.
