What you'll like:
- Turnkey decorative condition: The house is presented in first-class decorative order throughout, meaning you can move in immediately without incurring major upfront redecoration costs.
- Elevated front line site: Occupying an elevated position, the property enjoys unimpeded, highly pleasant views of rolling hills and pasture lands right from your doorstep.
- Energy efficient rating: Boasting an impressive B energy rating, this home should offer lower monthly utility bills and better thermal comfort during colder months.
- High end kitchen upgrades: The kitchen features luxury quartz worktops, grey lacquered units, and quality Bosch appliances, providing a durable and stylish culinary workspace.
- Newly refitted main bathroom: The bathroom features high-end marble tiling and quality sanitary ware, offering a modern and luxurious daily spa experience for residents.
- Solid fuel stove heating: The living room includes a solid fuel stove with a back boiler that heats both water and radiators, offering a cozy alternative heat source.
- Private enclosed rear garden: The sunny, private rear garden comes complete with a paved patio, lawn area, stone dwarf walls, and a garden shed for outdoor living.
- Safe cul-de-sac location: Situated in a quiet cul-de-sac within a sought-after development, it provides a safe environment with minimal passing traffic for families.
- On site creche facility: Having an on-site creche directly within the residential development is exceptionally convenient for families with young children needing daily childcare.
- Proximity to Dromod Harbour: Within minutes, you can walk to Dromod Harbour on Lough Boffin and the River Shannon, offering fantastic boating and scenic water amenities.
- Excellent rail connectivity: The nearby train station on the Sligo to Dublin line makes commuting or traveling to the capital exceptionally easy without relying entirely on a car.
- Commuter town convenience: Being just a fifteen-minute drive from Carrick-on-Shannon and Longford provides quick access to larger towns for major shopping, schools, and hospitals.
- Accessible airport travel: Knock Airport is reachable in approximately sixty minutes, and Dublin is roughly ninety-five minutes away, supporting both domestic and international travel.
- Flexible downstairs bedroom: The ground floor fourth bedroom can easily double as a home office, playroom, or guest bedroom depending on your current lifestyle needs.
- Dedicated utility room: The separate utility room is fully fitted with a quartz worktop and includes a condensing washer and dryer to keep laundry out of the kitchen.
- Ground floor shower room: Having a convenient downstairs WC and corner shower room prevents morning queues and offers practical wash-down facilities after outdoor activities.
- Master bedroom en suite: The main bedroom features a private en-suite shower room, adding privacy and comfort for the household head or guests.
- Walk in dressing area: Bedroom three benefits from a dedicated walk-in dressing area complete with rails and shelving, maximizing storage space and keeping bedrooms tidy.
- Central vacuum system: The inclusion of a central vacuum system helps reduce household dust and allergen circulation while making routine cleaning much more effortless.
- Floored attic storage: A Stira stairs leads up to a partially floored attic, offering safe, accessible overhead storage space for seasonal items and luggage.
But keep in mind:
- Stove back boiler maintenance: The solid fuel stove with a back boiler requires careful operation and regular servicing to prevent efficiency losses or plumbing complications.
- Oil heating system reliance: The property relies on an external oil boiler and kerosene tank for primary heating, requiring you to monitor fuel orders and market prices.
- Open plan heat transfer: The double doors between the living room and kitchen allow heat and cooking odors to travel freely throughout the ground floor spaces.
- Atrium heat loss risk: The double-height atrium style feature in the hallway looks dramatic, but buyers should check if it causes rising heat loss or heating inefficiencies.
- Cul-de-sac parking limits: While the front paved driveway offers parking, tight cul-de-sac layouts can sometimes restrict visitor parking space during larger gatherings.
- Garden boundary maintenance: The timber panel fencing on both sides of the rear garden will require ongoing maintenance, staining, and eventual replacement over time.
- Exposed elevated weathering: Being on an elevated front-line site means the property may experience stronger winds and weather exposure, increasing exterior wear and tear.
- Creche traffic considerations: Having a creche on site brings increased morning and afternoon vehicle traffic and pedestrian movement directly outside the immediate estate area.
- Rural rail line dependence: The local train station relies on the Sligo-Dublin line, so buyers should verify current timetables, frequency, and any planned service disruptions.
- Distance to major cities: A ninety-five-minute drive to Dublin means regular daily commuting to the capital would be exceptionally long and tiring for working professionals.
- Local amenity reliance: While Dromod has a choice of pubs, restaurants, and a cafe, major retail shopping requires a fifteen-minute drive to larger neighboring towns.
- Attic insulation verification: You should verify the exact depth and quality of attic insulation above the partially floored space to ensure it meets modern retention standards.
- Complex plumbing systems: The combination of a pressurized power shower system, oil boiler, and stove back boiler means more complex plumbing to inspect and maintain.
- Paved driveway upkeep: The paved front driveway will require occasional weed control, power washing, and potential re-sanding of joints to maintain its neat appearance.
- Compact second en suite: The master bedroom en-suite measures 2.6m by 0.87m, which is quite narrow and may feel cramped during daily use by occupants.
- Single French patio doors: The kitchen features French doors leading to the patio, but buyers should inspect their seals and double glazing for drafts or moisture ingress.
- Upstairs bathroom layout: The main upstairs bathroom features a raised bath on chrome feet, which can be awkward for young children or elderly guests to step into safely.
- Velux window maintenance: The landing Velux roof light provides great natural light, but roof windows can be prone to condensation issues or require high-reach cleaning.
- External oil tank placement: The external kerosene oil tank should be inspected for security, screening from view, and compliance with environmental storage regulations.
- Resale market liquidity: Located in County Leitrim, the local property market can move slower than major urban centers, making future resale timing harder to predict.
Price positioning
?
- The asking price appears broadly in line with recent verified market transactions recorded within the immediate development, where comparable homes have recently changed hands between approximately 350,000 and 380,000 euros.
- Valuation signals are strongly supported by the property's elevated front-line site position, a highly efficient B energy rating, and high-specification internal finishes including quartz countertops and newly refitted luxury bathrooms.
- Market support could be reinforced by strong ongoing demand for turn-key suburban commuter properties near transport links, though potential buyers might hesitate given rapid historical price appreciation across the wider area since the last transfer.
- Relevant considerations include the exceptionally maintained cul-de-sac setting, proximity to local harbor amenities, and the flexible four-bedroom layout which adds substantial utility and appeal for families seeking quality long-term housing.
