About Yn 'e Lijte 36, Grou
The asking price of €165,000 is 57% below the neighbourhood average of €386,629. However, the floor area is only 37 m², which is 71% smaller than the average of 126 m². So the price is in line with the size, but the plot is large at 404 m². Comparable homes in Grou have sold for an average of €408,352, but those are much larger. Given the small living space, the price is keen for what you get.
The energy label is E, which means the home is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. In the neighbourhood, 20% of homes have label A, 10% label B, 36.7% label C, and 33.3% label D or lower. So this home is on the less efficient side.
The plot is 404 m², which is large for a home of this size. The listing does not specify whether it's a garden, but the plot size suggests plenty of outdoor space.
A GP and a supermarket (Poiesz) are both about 700 metres away, so just around the corner. Primary schools are about 1.1 km away, and secondary school is 1.2 km. The train station is 1.3 km, a ten-minute walk. Restaurants and a park are within 500 metres. So daily needs are easily met on foot.
Grou has about 5,500 residents, with a mix of ages and many families. It's a moderately urban area. One resident who lived there for 55 years says it was very good but has declined due to some new residents causing issues. Overall, it's a quiet village with good facilities.
With only 37 m² of living space, it's very compact. The large plot could be used for expansion, but that would require planning permission. It might work for a couple or single person, but for a family with children, the indoor space is likely too small.
