A semi-detached home in Steenakkers
Nieuwstraat 165 sits in Steenakkers, a residential pocket of Gilze where life moves at a village pace. The street itself is quiet, and the home is set within a proper neighbourhood of family houses. Built in 1968, this semi-detached house comes with an energy label D, which means heating costs will be a factor to budget for. At €435,000, the asking price sits 36% below the average asking price of €683,944 for semi-detached houses in Gilze en Rijen, though the living area is also smaller than the neighbourhood norm.
Inside the home
Step inside and you find six rooms spread over two floors, with three bedrooms and one bathroom. The agent lists the living area at 94 m², while the BAG registration records 118 m². Similarly, the plot measures 282 m² according to the BAG, but the agent states 406 m². The home has a garden to the front, side and rear, with the rear garden facing southwest and accessible via the back alley. There is a garage with a carport and a separate brick garage, plus a roof terrace. The agent notes roof insulation and largely double glazing, a central heating boiler, and full ownership.
