What you'll like:
- Recent 2024 refurbishment: The property was extensively updated in 2024 with new flooring, internal doors, and stylish bathroom suites, allowing you to move in immediately without undertaking costly or stressful renovation works.
- South facing garden: The generous 12.4 by 7 metre rear garden benefits from a highly desirable south-facing orientation, maximizing natural sunlight throughout the day for outdoor dining and entertaining.
- Quiet cul-de-sac position: Situated at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac, the home experiences minimal through-traffic, providing a safer and more tranquil environment for families with young children or pets.
- Walk to town centre: Located within comfortable walking distance of Maynooth Town Centre, you can easily access local shops, restaurants, and amenities without needing to rely on a car for daily errands.
- Proximity to train station: The nearby train station offers regular services to Dublin City Centre, making this an exceptionally convenient location for commuters seeking to avoid long driving times.
- Maynooth University nearby: The property sits within easy reach of Maynooth University, offering strong long-term rental demand and capital growth potential should you ever decide to let the property out.
- Modern kitchen appliances: The sale includes quality integrated kitchen appliances such as a Bosch dishwasher, induction hob, and freestanding fridge-freezer, saving you significant upfront expenses upon taking ownership.
- Dedicated EV charger: An electric vehicle charging point is already installed in the paved driveway, future-proofing the home for sustainable transport and saving you the installation cost of a home charger.
- Off-street parking space: The spacious paved driveway provides convenient private off-street parking for multiple vehicles, addressing a common parking constraint found in many traditional suburban residential housing developments.
- Generous master bedroom: The rear master bedroom measures a comfortable 4.3 by 3.5 metres and features fitted wardrobes, offering ample storage space and a peaceful retreat away from the front street.
- Stylish family bathroom: The fully tiled main bathroom features modern His and Hers vanity sinks, a monsoon shower head over the bathtub, and a heated vertical towel rail for added luxury.
- Gas fired central heating: Equipped with a gas boiler that has been recently serviced, the home offers reliable and controllable central heating throughout the winter months for optimal household comfort.
- Side pedestrian access: A secure side entrance with a timber gate provides convenient independent access to the rear garden from the front driveway without needing to walk through the house.
- External maintenance updated: The property benefits from newly fitted PVC fascias and soffits installed during the 2024 refresh, reducing ongoing exterior maintenance requirements and protecting the roofline from weathering.
- Under stairs storage: The entrance hallway includes practical built-in storage space underneath the staircase, helping to keep coats, shoes, and household clutter neatly hidden away from main living areas.
- Included fixtures and fittings: Most window blinds, curtains, and light shades are included in the sale, reducing the initial decorating effort and financial outlay required to make the house feel homely.
- Integrated double oven: The kitchen comes fitted with a modern integrated double oven and induction hob, providing excellent culinary capability for enthusiastic home cooks who enjoy hosting dinner parties.
- Private outdoor space: Mature trees and wooden fencing enclose the rear garden nicely, creating a private outdoor sanctuary that feels sheltered from overlooking neighbouring houses and surrounding properties.
- Practical utility elements: The hot press contains a modern water pump system to ensure strong shower water pressure, while a separate guest W.C. downstairs adds everyday convenience for busy families.
- Established residential neighbourhood: Built in 1992, the development is mature and well-established, featuring settled communities, established landscaping, and a proven track record for long-term residential desirability.
But keep in mind:
- C3 energy rating: The current C3 BER rating reflects moderate energy efficiency, meaning you should budget for future insulation upgrades to reduce heating bills and meet modern green standards.
- Compact floor area: With a gross internal floor area of approximately 94 square metres, the home is relatively compact, so buyers with large furniture collections or growing families should verify room dimensions carefully.
- Potential attic insulation gap: Because the house dates back to 1992, buyers should investigate the current thickness of the attic insulation to verify whether it meets modern energy retention standards.
- Open fireplace emissions: The living room features a traditional open fireplace, which is less thermally efficient than a closed-stove system and may contribute to heat loss when not in active use.
- Second bedroom size: Bedroom two measures just 2.6 by 2.5 metres, making it quite small as a double bedroom and potentially better suited as a home office, nursery, or single child's room.
- Upstairs bathroom concentration: Having only one family bathroom upstairs serving three bedrooms could lead to morning congestion, even with the addition of the downstairs guest W.C. facility.
- Untested services disclaimer: The sales agents note that all services and appliances are unverified, so buyers must commission independent specialist inspections to ensure the plumbing and heating systems function properly.
- Water pump noise: The inclusion of a water pump system in the hot press is great for shower pressure, but buyers should check its operating noise level to ensure it does not disturb bedrooms.
- Cul-de-sac turnaround limits: While cul-de-sacs are quiet, the turning circle at the end may become congested when multiple visitors park on the street simultaneously during peak family gathering times.
- Potential drainage inspection needed: Buyers should conduct a standard drain survey to verify that the exterior drainage and underground sewer pipes connected to the 1992-built structure are free from root damage or blockages.
- Window glazing age check: Although many interior elements were upgraded in 2024, buyers should verify the age and thermal performance of the double-glazed windows to ensure they do not require replacement.
- Local traffic congestion: Proximity to Maynooth University and the town centre can generate significant local traffic during academic term times, potentially causing delays when exiting the residential estate during rush hour.
- Gas boiler lifespan: While the gas boiler was recently serviced, buyers should request full service history records to estimate how many operational years remain before a costly replacement might become necessary.
- Garden shed condition: The timber garden shed provides useful outdoor storage, but buyers should inspect its structural integrity and weatherproofing to determine if repairs or replacement will be needed soon.
- Missing living room shade: The listing notes that light shades in the living room are excluded from the sale, meaning you will need to purchase and install your own light fixtures there immediately.
- Potential boundary verification: Buyers should have their solicitor review the title deeds and boundary maps carefully to confirm that the paved driveway and garden boundaries match the official land registry records.
- Attic conversion limitations: The presence of the hot press water cylinder and tank in the attic space may complicate or restrict any future plans to convert the roof space into an additional habitable room.
- External tap winter care: The outdoor water tap in the rear garden should be checked for an internal isolation valve to prevent frozen pipes and potential bursting during freezing winter weather conditions.
- High market competition: Properties in accessible Kildare commuter towns like Maynooth often attract strong buyer demand, which could lead to competitive bidding scenarios and higher purchase prices above the guide.
- Future maintenance on 90s build: Although recently refurbished, structural elements dating back to 1992 such as roof timbers and hidden electrical wiring should be thoroughly examined by a surveyor to mitigate latent defect risks.
