About Woltersweg 50, Hengelo
The asking price is €450,000, which is above the neighbourhood average of €229,500 for homes currently for sale. However, this house is twice the size of the typical home in Anninks-/Nijhofshoek (130 m² vs 65 m²), so the price per square metre (€3,462) is actually in line with the local average of €3,531. The price reflects the extra space and the semi-detached character.
The home has energy label B, which is good for a house built in 1935. It means the property is reasonably energy-efficient, with solid insulation and efficient heating. You can expect moderate energy bills compared to older homes with lower labels. In the neighbourhood, 25% of homes have label B, so this is a typical efficiency level for the area.
The plot measures 256 m². The listing does not specify a garden, terrace, or other outdoor features, so you would need to view the property to see how the land is laid out. The plot is about twice the size of the home's footprint, leaving room for a garden, but this is not confirmed in the listing.
Anninks-/Nijhofshoek has a mix of households: about 28% are couples without children, 28% are couples with children, and the rest are singles.

A GP practice is 400 m away, and a park is 700 m. Restaurants and a library are within 1-1.2 km. So most essentials are within walking distance.
The house was built in 1935, so it's nearly 90 years old. With energy label B, it has been modernised to some extent. The listing does not mention any recent renovations, so you should expect some original features and possibly some updating needed.
