About Toomstraat 5, Thorn
The asking price of €275,000 is 46% below the average asking price in Thorn (€513,864) and is the lowest among the 11 homes currently for sale in the neighbourhood. However, the home is smaller than average (127 m² vs 223 m²) and has an energy label F, which means higher energy costs. Compared to similar homes in the area, the price is keen.
The energy label is F, which is one of the least efficient ratings. This means the home is likely to have high heating costs, especially in winter. In Thorn, 40% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area, but it is something to be aware of.
The plot size is 238 m², which includes the house itself. The garden is not separately specified in the listing, but the plot is large enough for a private outdoor space. You would need to view the property to see the exact layout.
Thorn is a quiet village with a strong sense of community. The population is older, with many residents aged 65 and over. It is a safe area with low crime. Daily amenities like a supermarket, GP, and primary school are within walking distance, but secondary schools and the train station are further away.
The nearest train station is 12.3 km away, so you would need a car or bus for train travel. The village is not well connected by rail, but bus services may be available.
Basisschool De Koningsspil is just 139 metres away, ideal for young children. There are several other primary schools within 5 km, but secondary education is 9.7 km away, so older children would need to travel further.
