About Rijksweg 32, Herten
The asking price is 73% above the average asking price in Merum (€458,563), but this home is also much larger than average (409 m² vs 151 m²) and sits on a 2,424 m² plot. The price per square metre works out to about €1,944, which is lower than the neighbourhood average of €3,130 per m². So while the total price is high, you get a lot of space and land for it.
The home has energy label D. In Merum, most homes for sale have better labels: 57% have label A and 29% have label B. Only 14% have label D or lower. So this home is less energy-efficient than the typical listing in the neighbourhood, which means higher heating costs to expect.
The plot measures 2,424 m², which is very spacious. The home itself covers 409 m² of floor area. The large garden offers plenty of room for outdoor activities, gardening, or even extending the property (subject to planning permission).
