About Prins Mauritsstraat 6, Retranchement
The asking price of €875,000 is on the high side compared to other semi-detached homes in Sluis. However, the house is spacious at 154 m² with a 316 m² plot, and it has a good energy label B. The location in a very quiet village with low crime rates adds to its appeal. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value peace and space over proximity to amenities.
The energy label is B, which means the home is reasonably energy-efficient. You can expect lower heating costs compared to older homes with labels D to G. The house was built in 1965, so it likely has some insulation, but not as much as a modern home. No specific energy costs are stated in the listing.
The nearest train station is 57.9 km away, so this is not a commuter-friendly location for train travel. A car is essential for getting around. The station is likely in Bruges or Middelburg, but the exact name is not given in the listing.
