About Wilgenweg 14, Hengelo
The asking price is 23% above the neighbourhood average of €399,667, but the home is also 53% larger than the average (174 m² vs 114 m²). Given the extra space and the pre-war character, the price is in line with what you get. The neighbourhood median is €410,000, so this home sits at the higher end of the local market.
The energy label is F, which means the home is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a modern home. In the neighbourhood, 50% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for a pre-war property. Improvements like insulation or a new heating system could raise the label.
The train station is 1.7 km away, about a 15-minute walk. The high address density (3,108 per km²) suggests good urban infrastructure.
Tichelwerk has 435 households with children, but also many single-person households (915) and older residents (1,020 aged 65+). It is a mixed area with a pre-war housing stock. Schools are within walking distance for secondary education (0.4 km), but primary schools are about 1 km away. The area is urban and lively.
In the past year, sold homes in Tichelwerk had an average listing duration of 28 days. That is relatively quick, indicating steady demand. The current supply is 15 homes for sale, so options are limited.
The plot is 305 m², which is generous for a semi-detached house in this area. The listing does not specify a garden, but the plot size suggests outdoor space.
Pre-war homes often have solid construction but may need updates to insulation, wiring, or plumbing. The energy label F indicates that heating efficiency is poor. It is common for homes built in 1923 to have single glazing or an old boiler. A structural survey is recommended before purchase.
