About Legedyk 42, Wirdum (Fr)
The asking price of €289,500 is 42% below the average asking price in Wirdum (€503,091) and is the lowest among the 11 homes currently for sale in the neighbourhood. However, the floor area (94 m²) is 28% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 131 m². Given the compact size and the need for updates (built in 1902, energy label C), the price is keen and reflects the home's character and location.
The home has energy label C, which is average for an older property. In Wirdum, 45.5% of homes have label C, while 36.4% have label A or better. Label C means the home is reasonably efficient but not as cheap to heat as a modern A-label home. You can expect moderate energy bills, but improvements like better insulation could lower them further.
The nearest train station is 7.5 km away. That is about a 15-minute drive or a longer cycle ride. The village is not directly connected by rail, so a car or bicycle is essential for commuting by train.
The nearest primary school is IKC Roorda, 1.5 km away (a five-minute walk). Other primary schools within 5 km include Kindcentrum de Pionier (2.4 km), CBS Het Klaverblad (2.4 km), Teresa (2.5 km), and Openbare Basisschool De Twamêster (3.2 km). For secondary education, the closest school is 6.6 km away, so a longer commute is needed.

The plot is 244 m², which is generous for a semi-detached house. The listing does not specify a garden, but the plot size suggests there is outdoor space around the home. You would need to view the property to see how the garden is laid out.
Recently sold homes in Wirdum had an average price of €681,063 and sold in about 71 days. The current asking price of €289,500 is significantly lower, partly because this home is smaller (94 m² vs. the average 131 m²) and older (1902). The market in Wirdum is not fast-moving, so there may be room for negotiation.
