Quiet neighbourhood with everything you need nearby. The only hassle is finding parking spaces. There isn't often nuisance or anything.
Auto-translated to English by AIMy neighbourhood is a pleasant, accessible environment. There are many amenities nearby and the shops are easily reachable. However, there is often litter on the street and we have occasionally had mice in the neighbourhood as a result. Placing more bins could possibly prevent this. However, there are very few houses available and everything is unaffordable. Housing could therefore be better.

The energy label is C, which is reasonable for a house built in 1550. It means the home has some insulation and double glazing, but heating costs will be higher than a modern home. You can expect moderate energy bills, but not the highest.
The floor area is 107 m², which typically allows for two to three bedrooms, but the exact layout is not provided.
The plot size is 43 m², but the listing does not mention a garden. Given the historic canal location, outdoor space may be limited to a small courtyard or no garden at all. You would need to check the floor plan.
