The asking price of €300,000 is in line with the market. The average sale price in Oude Pekela is around €292,000, and the median is €289,500. However, this home has a much smaller floor area (58 m²) than the neighbourhood average of 145 m², but compensates with a very large plot of 1,590 m². So you're paying for the land rather than the house itself.
Oude Pekela is a quiet, green village with a strong sense of community. Residents describe it as peaceful and cosy, with friendly neighbours. There are many young people and families, and the area is clean. Nature is close by, with a forest nearby. The urbanity level is low, so it's not crowded. Most homes are owner-occupied, and the housing stock is mostly single-family homes.
The nearest train station is 5.4 km from the home. That's about a 12-minute drive or a 20-minute bike ride. Public transport is available, but a car or bike is more convenient for train travel.
There are several schools within walking distance. The secondary school Dollard College Pekela is just 318 m away, about a five-minute walk. Primary schools include CBS de 7-Sprong and Sint Willibrordusschool, both about 767 m away (a ten-minute walk). Kindcentrum openbare basisschool Hendrik Wester is 972 m away.
Aldi and Jumbo are both about 1.1,1.2 km away, a ten-minute walk. Poiesz is 2.7 km away, and there are two SPAR supermarkets within 5 km. So daily groceries are easily accessible on foot or by bike.
The home has energy label B, which is quite efficient. It means the home is well-insulated and you can expect relatively low energy costs compared to older homes. In the neighbourhood, about 15% of homes have label B, and 30% have label C or lower.
The plot is 1,590 m², which is very large for a semi-detached house. It offers plenty of space for a garden, outdoor activities, or even extensions (subject to planning permission). The home itself is 58 m², so the land is the main asset.
