Gouwsluis, Alphen aan den Rijn
NeighbourhoodThis 1912 terraced house on Prinsenlaan sits in a quiet part of Alphen aan den Rijn, with a front garden and a back garden that gets the afternoon sun. At 108 m² and with an E energy label, it's a home with character that needs some modernisation. The asking price of €425,000 is on the high side compared to other terraced houses in Alphen aan den Rijn, partly because of the generous 173 m² plot.

About Prinsenlaan 17, Alphen Aan Den Rijn
The asking price of €425,000 is on the high side for a terraced house in Gouwsluis, especially given the E energy label. However, the 173 m² plot is larger than average, which partly justifies the premium. Without recent sale figures for similar homes in the street, it's hard to say exactly how much room there is for negotiation.
Energy label E means the home is not very efficient. You can expect higher heating bills compared to a modern home, and the property likely has single glazing and poor insulation.
The nearest train station is 2.6 km away, which is about a 30-minute walk or a short bike ride.
There are several primary schools within walking distance: Protestants Christelijke Basisschool De Windroos is 686 m away (about a five-minute walk), and Basisschool de Rank is 990 m away (a ten-minute walk). For secondary education, the nearest school is 1.7 km away.
Gouwsluis is a quiet residential area with low crime rates. In the most recent data, only 15 incidents were recorded in the entire neighbourhood. Residents describe it as safe and family-friendly.
The house has both a front and back garden. The back garden faces south-west, so it gets plenty of afternoon sun. The plot is 173 m², which gives you a decent outdoor space for a terraced house.
