- Attic Access Installed: A pull-down Stira stairs provides convenient access to the attic space in the second bedroom, offering super potential for additional household storage needs.
- Planning Permission Granted: Full planning permission has already been granted to extend the physical footprint of the property, offering future expansion potential without the usual municipal planning hurdles.
- Convenient Local Amenities: The property is situated within a minutes walk of local shops, cafes, a doctors surgery, and a chemist, ensuring daily essentials are easily accessible on foot.
- Nearby Educational Facilities: An array of local primary and secondary schools are located within comfortable walking distance, making the address highly practical for growing families with school-aged children.
- Strong Transport Links: Excellent public transport options nearby include multiple Dublin Bus routes as well as DART and mainline rail services, providing a seamless commute to surrounding employment hubs.
- Fast Motorway Access: Motorists benefit from being just moments away from the M11 motorway, offering speedy connections to the M50 and ensuring Dublin City Centre is reachable within twenty kilometres.
But keep in mind:
- Moderate Energy Rating: The building energy rating stands at C3, which is only average and may prompt future energy efficiency upgrades like external insulation to reduce heating bills.
- Compact Floor Area: With a total floor area of approximately 94 square metres, the accommodation is relatively compact and growing families might eventually feel space constraints without extending.
- Single Third Bedroom: The third bedroom is a single room, which limits flexibility for larger families or buyers requiring multiple double bedrooms for older children or guests.
- Shared Side Access: The enclosed side entrance provides outdoor storage and access to the rear garden, but buyers should check boundary responsibilities and easement rights with neighboring properties.
- Decking Maintenance: While composite decking is low maintenance compared to timber, it can still become slippery in wet winter weather and may require periodic pressure washing.
- Cul-de-Sac Parking Limits: Although the front garden provides off-street parking, visitor parking on the residential cul-de-sac may become congested during peak evening hours when neighbors are home.
- Boiler Warranty Status: Buyers should verify the exact installation date and remaining warranty terms of the newly installed condensing boiler to protect against unexpected early repair costs.
- Extension Cost Exposure: While planning permission is granted to extend the footprint, buyers must budget significantly for construction costs, materials inflation, and contractor availability to realize this potential.
- Attic Storage Limitations: The attic is accessed via a Stira stairs and offers useful storage, but buyers should inspect the roof space for adequate insulation depth and ventilation standards.
- Appliance Lifespan Uncertainty: Integrated kitchen appliances such as the oven and dishwasher are included in the sale, and buyers should independently test their working condition prior to closing.
- Garden Boundary Upkeep: The private rear garden is enclosed by high timber fencing, and buyers should clarify who is legally responsible for maintaining and repairing each boundary fence section.
- Shed Condition Check: The property includes a large Barna-type timber shed in the rear garden, which the buyer should inspect for dampness, wood rot, and overall structural longevity.
- Electric Shower Performance: Both the primary ensuite and family bathroom utilize electric showers, which can sometimes suffer from lower water flow rates or require heating element replacements over time.
- Traffic Noise Proximity: While tucked away off the Boghall Road, proximity to busy arterial routes during morning and evening rush hours should be assessed for potential traffic noise impacts.
- Property Title Verification: Buyers must instruct their legal representative to thoroughly investigate the property title, mapping boundaries, and any restrictive covenants associated with the estate.
- BER Improvement Costs: Upgrading the C3 energy rating to a higher BER band would require capital investment in renewable heating or insulation, which should be factored into long-term budgeting.
- Open Plan Acoustics: The open-plan layout connecting the living room and kitchen-diner can result in noise traveling more freely across the ground floor during busy family cooking times.
- Single Bathroom Ratio: Having one family bathroom and one ensuite serving three bedrooms means morning queues are possible when the household is getting ready for work and school simultaneously.
- Potential Subsidence Check: Buyers should verify the structural integrity and foundation stability of the home, particularly if planning to execute the approved extension footprint in the future.
- Local Flood Risk Due Diligence: Prospective purchasers should verify local drainage capacity and check whether any historical surface water pooling has affected the immediate estate or surrounding roads.
Price positioning
?
- The asking price appears slightly overvalued compared to recent recorded transactions on the same estate, which show established selling thresholds below this level.
- Signals pointing towards an overvaluation include higher pricing relative to recent local sales data and standard market averages for similar properties in the immediate neighborhood.
- Factors that could support such a price include extensive modern refurbishments, high quality interior finishes, and existing planning permission to extend the current footprint.
- Conversely, potential overpricing risks and limited floor space could undermine buyer interest if broader market demand cools down or alternative properties offer better value.
Build Analysis
What we know from similar construction types
- The property is a 3-bedroom semi-detached or terraced style family home extending to approximately 94 square metres, having undergone extensive refurbishment and upgrades by the current owners.

- The listing notes that full planning permission has been granted to extend the footprint of the property; a buyer should have their legal representative inspect the planning documentation, conditions, and validity period.
- The attic is accessed via a pull-down Stira stairs and should be inspected for proper insulation, ventilation, and any unauthorized conversions if storage has been heavily utilized.
