- Wonderful modernisation potential: The property has been well cared for, offering buyers a fantastic canvas to update finishes and add substantial long-term value.
But keep in mind:
- Poor energy rating: The property carries a low E1 BER rating, indicating significant thermal inefficiency that will likely result in high heating bills.
- Substantial upgrade costs: Bringing the energy performance up to modern standards will require considerable capital investment in insulation, windows, and heating systems.
- Outdated electrical heating or boiler: Buyers should verify the age and efficiency of the primary heating system, as an E1 rating often points to older infrastructure.
- Modernisation required throughout: While well cared for, much of the interior cosmetic finishes are dated and demand immediate financial outlay to taste.
- Compact family bathroom: The main family bathroom measures just 1.73m by 2.07m, offering limited space which could feel cramped for a busy household.
- Small fourth bedroom: Bedroom four is quite compact at just over two metres wide, restricting its utility mostly to a small nursery or home office.
- Sloping or elevated risks: The elevated position and sloping topography should be checked by a surveyor to ensure proper drainage and structural soil stability.
- Potential boundary issues: Buyers should instruct their legal representative to carefully verify all garden boundaries and side passage ownership against title deeds.
- Single glazed windows risk: The buyer should investigate whether older window frames remain in parts of the house, which would compromise sound and thermal insulation.
- Roof insulation verification: Due to the low energy rating, the thickness and condition of attic insulation should be thoroughly assessed during a structural survey.
- Ventilation and damp checks: The older construction style combined with an E1 rating warrants careful checking for historical condensation or hidden damp issues.
- Plumbing system age: The underlying pipework and hot water cylinder in the hotpress should be inspected for age-related wear and potential replacement needs.
- Electrical compliance check: An independent electrical survey should be conducted to ensure the fuse board and wiring meet current safety standards and regulations.
- Wastewater connection audit: Buyers must verify that the property connects properly to public mains sewage without shared or defective private pipe networks.
- Parking space limits: While a driveway is present, turning space or accommodating multiple modern vehicles might feel tight compared to newer developments.
- Storage limitations: Aside from understair storage and built-in wardrobes in the main bedroom, general internal storage capacity is relatively modest.
- Garden maintenance demands: The mature, extensive planting requires ongoing gardening effort and time to keep the generous grounds from becoming overgrown.
- Lack of open-plan flow: The ground floor features separated rooms rather than a modern open-plan kitchen-living space, which may not suit all contemporary buyer preferences.
- Resale value ceiling: Buyers should research recent comparable sales in this specific development to ensure the asking price aligns with local ceiling values.
- Renovation disruption: Undertaking necessary thermal and cosmetic upgrades will cause temporary disruption and dust, requiring budget allocation for short-term alternative living.

Build Analysis
What we know from similar construction types
- The property is a detached four-bedroom home extending to approximately 104 sq.m in a well-established residential development.
- The BER rating is E1, indicating poor energy efficiency which suggests that the building fabric, insulation, windows, and heating system likely require significant upgrading.
- A buyer should investigate the age and condition of the heating system, windows, doors, and roof insulation to determine the extent of modernisation required.
- Given the presence of mature trees in the garden, a buyer should verify if any tree roots pose potential risks to the building foundations or underground drainage.
Retrofit Cost*
Possible renovating / insulating expenditure
- Estimated deep-retrofit cost: €45,000 - €65,000.
- Reasoning: The property has a weak E1 BER rating, indicating that substantial energy upgrades will be necessary to bring it to a modern standard of efficiency.
- Costs would typically cover external wall insulation or internal dry-lining, upgrading attic insulation, replacing old windows and external doors with high-performance double or triple glazing, installing a modern heat pump or high-efficiency boiler with zoned controls, and addressing any necessary ventilation improvements.
Heating cost*
Estimated expense to heat this property every year
- Estimated annual heating cost: €2,200 to €2,800.
- Explanation: Given the 104 m² floor area and the E1 BER rating, the property has a relatively high energy consumption, meaning heating costs will be higher than average until energy efficiency upgrades are made.
