About Graaf van Hornelaan 18, Werkendam
The asking price of €450,000 is slightly above the average sale price of €431,333 for homes sold recently in Vervoornepolder zuid. However, this house has a larger plot (247 m²) and a good energy label B, which can justify the premium. The neighbourhood has seen limited sales, so it's not a hot market, but the price is in line with what similar homes have achieved.
The energy label is B, which means the home is reasonably energy-efficient. You can expect lower heating costs compared to older homes with labels D or lower. The house was built in 1967, so it likely has some insulation and double glazing, but not the latest standards. Label B is a good middle ground, not the cheapest to run, but far from the most expensive.
The plot is 247 m², which includes the house footprint and the garden. The garden is not described in detail, but with a plot this size, you can expect a decent outdoor space, likely a back garden and possibly a front garden. It's a good size for a family with children or for gardening enthusiasts.
There are several primary schools within walking distance: Ds Johannes Groenewegenschool (441 m), OBS Sigmond (634 m), and CBS 't Kompas (634 m). For secondary education, the nearest school is 4.1 km away, so children will need to cycle or take the bus. The area is popular with families, so school places can be competitive.
The nearest train station is 9.1 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You would need to drive or take a bus to reach it. The station is likely in a neighbouring town, so commuting by train is possible but requires a bit of planning. For local travel, a car or bike is more practical.
Vervoornepolder zuid is a quiet, family-oriented neighbourhood with mostly single-family homes. It has a park just 400 metres away, and the area feels safe with low crime figures (41 total incidents). The population is a mix of families and older residents, and the streets are calm. It's a good choice if you value peace and green space.
