Homes across the Netherlands

• 214 m² living
• 220 m² plot
• 5 beds
• 8 rooms
• D energy

Facing the green — and the park side of Tilburg has always been where the larger houses are. 214 m² to rent, five bedrooms, two bathrooms, garden behind, built 1914. Original detail throughout: stairwell, mouldings, panelled doors. Label D; it is a big old house and it heats like one. Unfurnished, twelve-month minimum, utilities excluded.

• 201 m² living
• 661 m² plot
• 4 beds
• 7 rooms

The garden is the reason to come — mature planting, a lawn big enough to be useful, and a terrace that faces the afternoon and evening sun. 661 m² of it, with a garage at the side. Four bedrooms, two bathrooms, 201 m² of living space, built 1989. No energy label has been registered. The sellers are arranging one and expect it before completion; on the specification — cavity insulation, double glazing throughout, boiler from 2019 — it should come back reasonably.

• 137 m²
• 3 beds
• 4 rooms

Roof terrace, three bedrooms and parking on the Evenaar. Under offer. 137 m², two bathrooms, built 2022, lift access. No energy label is registered on the file yet — unusual for a building this recent, and the seller is chasing it.

• 40 m²
• 1 bed
• 1 room

The cheapest thing we have in Zwolle, and priced that way for a reason. 40 m² on the Groot Wezenland, one bathroom. Neither the year of construction nor an energy label is recorded on file; the seller is arranging the label, and the deeds will settle the date.

• 218 m² living
• 211 m² plot
• 5 beds
• 8 rooms

The view over the Waal from the first floor is the reason to take it. 218 m² to rent, five bedrooms, two bathrooms, garden behind, built 1907. No energy label has been registered; on a building of this age and specification, expect it at the lower end, and the rent has been set with that in mind. Unfurnished, twelve-month minimum, utilities excluded.

• 105 m²
• 3 beds
• 4 rooms

105 m² on the Lange Nieuwstraat, three bedrooms, one bathroom, balcony at the back. Built in 2004. No energy label is on the file; the seller has one on order, and the specification — cavity insulation, double glazing throughout — suggests it will be respectable.

• 197 m² living
• 736 m² plot
• 4 beds
• 7 rooms
• B energy

A plot of 736 m² in Leidsche Rijn, with a garden that runs back far enough to lose sight of the house from the end of it. Four bedrooms, 197 m², double garage. Built in 1992 and upgraded since — label B, with the cavity walls and the roof insulated in the last decade. The number of bathrooms is not recorded on file; there are two shower rooms and a WC, and the agent can confirm the arrangement on request. Leidsche Rijn's schools and the station are both within cycling distance.

• 66 m²
• 2 beds
• 3 rooms
• C energy

In a 1942 block in Woensel: 66 m², two bedrooms, one bathroom, balcony. Label C. The building has been kept up and the VvE is properly funded — worth checking, because several of the blocks along here are not. Shops and the bus into the centre at the end of the street.

• 105 m²
• 3 beds
• 4 rooms
• C energy

One flight up from the busiest street in the city, and much quieter than that sounds. 105 m², three bedrooms, balcony at the back, label C. The year of construction is not recorded; the building is older than the interior suggests, and the apartment was substantially rebuilt at some point in the nineties.

• 132 m²
• 3 beds
• 4 rooms
• A energy

132 m² with water on two sides. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, roof terrace, lift and parking. Label A. Delivered this year.

• 193 m² living
• 715 m² plot
• 4 beds
• 7 rooms
• B energy

715 m² of ground — the largest plot we have on offer in Almere. Four bedrooms, 193 m², double garage. Built in 1979 and improved steadily since; label B. The garden has been landscaped over many years and is now genuinely mature, which in a town this young is rare enough to be worth the trip. The bathroom count is not recorded; there are two upstairs and a WC on the ground floor.

• 62 m²
• 2 beds
• 3 rooms
• C energy

The Krommestraat is the best street in the centre for shops that are not chains, and this sits above them: 62 m², two bedrooms, one bathroom, balcony. Built 1946, label C.
