Boekholtstraat 18

The asking price is 30% above the average asking price in the neighbourhood (€611,194), so it is on the high side. However, the home is also 75% larger than the average (190 m²), which partly explains the premium. The price per square metre works out at about €2,395, which is below the neighbourhood average of €3,940 per m², so you are getting more space for your money.

The home has energy label D. In the neighbourhood, most homes for sale have a better label (only 23% are D or lower), so heating costs are likely to be higher than in a more efficient home. The home dates from 1500, so it is a historic property with thick walls but likely single glazing and limited insulation.

The neighbourhood is the historic centre of Doesburg, with a supermarket (Albert Heijn) just 159 metres away and a primary school within 205 metres. There are restaurants and a park within a couple of streets away. The area is quiet, with a moderate urbanity level, and many residents are older. For secondary education, you would need to travel about 4.7 km.

In the neighbourhood, sold homes took an average of 46 days to sell. That is a fairly typical period, suggesting a balanced market. With 18 homes currently for sale and 58 sold recently, there is a reasonable turnover.

The nearest train station is 5.0 km away, so you would need a car or bus to reach it. The neighbourhood is not well connected by rail, but local bus services may be available.

The home is very spacious at 332 m², so there is plenty of room for a family. However, the neighbourhood has relatively few children (only 150 aged 0-15 out of 2,435 residents) and many older residents. The nearest secondary school is 4.7 km away, so school runs would involve a drive.

The plot is 210 m², but the listing does not specify whether there is a garden. Given the historic centre location, outdoor space may be limited to a courtyard or small garden.
