Watersingel 45
Buitengebied ten zuiden van Leek, Westerkwartier
AreaA quiet spot on the edge of Leek
Watersingel 45 sits in the Buitengebied ten zuiden van Leek, a rural corner of the town where the houses are spread out and the pace is slow. The semi-detached house was built in 2006 and carried an efficient energy label, so the running costs should stay reasonable. With a living area of 178 square metres on a plot of 317 square metres, the last known asking price of €550,000 worked out at €3,090 per square metre. That was on the high side compared with the average of €3,644 per square metre for semi-detached houses in Westerkwartier, though the market here was small, with only nine homes at the time for sale. This home has not been online since 30 September 2026.
The house itself
The listing gave the essentials: a semi-detached house from 2006 with an A energy label. The agent did not go into detail about the layout, so the number of rooms and bedrooms was not stated. What is clear is the size, 178 square metres of living space on a 317 square metre plot, which gives a comfortable amount of room for a family. The energy label A was an efficient label, which should keep heating costs down.
