Frequently asked questions

About Burgemeester Mentzstraat 18, West-Terschelling

Is €895,000 a fair price for this house?

The asking price of €895,000 is on the high side compared to other terraced houses in Terschelling. The home is 132 m² with a B energy label and a 223 m² plot, but its 1700 construction year means it may need updates. Without comparable sales data for this specific neighbourhood, it's hard to say exactly how it stacks up, but the price reflects its central island location and historic character.

What is the neighbourhood like?

West-Terschelling is a quiet, close-knit village with around 2,470 residents. It has a high proportion of single-person households and many older residents. Residents appreciate the helpful community and the proximity to shops and nature, though one noted that street cleaning could be better. It's a calm place, not a bustling town.

How far are the nearest shops and schools?

The SPAR supermarket is 168 metres away, just around the corner. Two primary schools, Ds Vossersschool and Obs Prinses Margrietschool, are within 600 metres, a five-minute walk. For secondary education, the nearest school is 5.5 km away, so children typically travel to the mainland.

What is the energy label and what does it mean?

The home has an energy label B, which is quite efficient for a house built in 1700. It means heating costs should be manageable, though older homes often have quirks. The label is based on the current insulation and installations, so you can expect reasonable energy bills without major surprises.

Is there a garden?

The plot is 223 m², which typically includes outdoor space, but the listing does not explicitly mention a garden.

How far is the train station?

The nearest train station is 33 km away, which means you'll need to take the ferry to the mainland and then a train. It's not a daily commute option, but for occasional trips it's doable.

What is the urbanity level of the area?

West-Terschelling has an address density of 407 per km², which classifies it as a rural area (urbanity level 5). It's a quiet village with limited traffic and a relaxed pace of life.
