De Korte Akkeren Oud, Gouda
NeighbourhoodThis terraced house on Tollensstraat sits in a lively part of Gouda, where the streets are lined with early 20th-century homes. With 64 m² of living space, it is compact but efficient, and the A+ energy label is a real bonus in a neighbourhood where most homes are far less efficient. The asking price of €345,000 is keen compared to the neighbourhood median of €350,000, and supply of terraced houses in Gouda is limited.

About Tollensstraat 8, Gouda
The asking price of €345,000 is slightly below the neighbourhood median of €350,000 and well below the average sold price of €370,539. Given that the floor area is 32% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 94 m², the price per m² works out at about €5,391, which is higher than the neighbourhood average of €4,119 per m². So it is priced keenly overall, but the small size means you pay a premium per square metre.
This home has an energy label A+, which is excellent. In the neighbourhood, none of the current for-sale homes have A+, and only 15% have label A. An A+ label means very low energy costs for heating and hot water, and the home is well insulated. This is a significant advantage in a pre-war street where most properties have much poorer labels.
With 64 m² of living space, this terraced house is 32% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 94 m². The plot is also modest at 56 m². If you are looking for more space, other homes in De Korte Akkeren Oud tend to be larger, but they also come with higher price tags.
