The asking price of €250,000 is 46% below the average asking price in Makkum (€465,717) and also well under the median of €435,000. Given the home's 124 m² floor area and 168 m² plot, the price per m² works out to about €2,016, significantly less than the neighbourhood average of €3,438 per m². This makes it a keenly priced option, though the E energy label and 1700 build year mean you should expect higher running costs.

The energy label is E. This is below the current average for homes in Makkum, where about 33% have label C and 33% have D or lower. An E label typically means the home is less energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating and electricity bills. It may be worth looking into insulation or other improvements, but the listing does not specify any recent upgrades.

The house was built in 1700, making it one of the older properties in Makkum, 36% of homes in the neighbourhood date from before 1945. The listing does not provide details on the condition or any renovations, so you would need to view the property to assess its state. Given its age, original features like beams or fireplaces may be present, but maintenance history is unknown.

Makkum is a quiet village with around 3,140 residents, a mix of families and older people. Most homes are owner-occupied single-family houses. The village has a low crime rate (43 incidents total) and basic amenities within walking distance: a supermarket, primary schools, a GP, and a restaurant. It's not highly urbanised (urbanity score 4 out of 5), so you'll enjoy peace and space.

The nearest train station is 12.1 km away. This means commuting by train would require a car or bus to the station. The village itself is not connected by rail, so a car is almost essential for regular travel outside Makkum.

Yes, three primary schools are within a five-minute walk: Daltonbasisschool Sint Martinus (345 m), Christelijke Basisschool De Ark (360 m), and Basisschool De Populier (477 m). For secondary education, the nearest school is 10.4 km away, so older children would need to travel further.

Jumbo is just 456 m away, so you can walk there for daily groceries. The next nearest supermarkets are Poiesz and Aldi, but they are over 7 km away, so for a wider choice you'd need to drive.
