About Oude Kerkstraat 14, Aardenburg
The asking price is 33% below the neighbourhood average of €372,536, but the house is also 30% smaller than the average home in Aardenburg (105 m² vs 151 m²). Given the compact size and the quiet location, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a terraced house of this age and size in this area.
The energy label is D. That's a middling score, not super efficient, but not the worst either. In the neighbourhood, 33.3% of homes have a label D or lower, so this house is fairly typical. You can expect moderate heating costs, but nothing extreme.
The nearest train station is 54.7 km away, so this is not a commuter location for train travel. A car is essential for getting around, especially to reach secondary schools or the nearest library (8.9 km).
Aardenburg is very quiet, with many older residents and few shops. One resident describes it as 'wonderfully quiet living.' It's a rural village with a strong sense of community. The crime rate is low (24 total offences), and the area is safe.
The house was built in 1917, so it's over a century old. Many homes in the neighbourhood (35.7%) date from before 1945. An older house may need some maintenance, but the listing does not mention any specific issues. The energy label D suggests the insulation is adequate but not modern.
Basisschool Op Dreef is just 309 m away, perfect for young children. A second primary school, RKBS Sint Jozef, is 2.9 km away. For secondary education, the nearest school is 8.5 km away, so older children will need transport.
