About Westerstraat 18, Vries
At €298,000, this is the cheapest home for sale in Vries and 51% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €606,200. However, the floor area (97 m²) is also 52% smaller than the average of 203 m², and the energy label is F, which means higher heating costs. So the price reflects the size and energy efficiency, making it a budget-friendly option in a village where most homes are larger and more expensive.
Energy label F is one of the least efficient ratings, so you can expect higher gas and electricity bills compared to a modern home. In Vries, most homes for sale have better labels: 41% are label B, 18% are A, and 12% are A+. Only 18% are D or lower.
The plot is 332 m², which is generous for a semi-detached house. The garden is not described in the listing, but the plot size suggests plenty of outdoor space. You would need to view the property to see the layout and condition of the garden.
