About Prinses Julianastraat 23, Breskens
The asking price of €219,000 is 63% below the average asking price in Breskens (€591,481) and also well under the median of €464,000. Given the 99 m² floor area and energy label F, the price is keen compared to other homes in the neighbourhood. However, the low price reflects the home's age and energy performance, so it's a trade-off between upfront cost and running expenses.
The energy label is F, which is one of the least efficient ratings. This means the home is likely to have higher heating costs compared to a more modern property. In Breskens, 55.6% of homes have a label D or lower, so an F label is not unusual for a house built in 1953. You should expect to spend more on energy bills than you would in a better-insulated home.
The nearest train station is 44.3 km away, so this is not a location for daily commuting by rail. Breskens is a village in Zeeland where a car is essential for most journeys. The station distance is one of the longest in the region, reflecting the rural character of the area.

There are two other primary schools within 5 km: Basisschool De Meerstromen (4 km) and De Molenkreek (4.4 km). For secondary education, the nearest school is 11.2 km away, so older children will need transport.
