- Desirable family schools: The house is positioned close to some of the best educational facilities in the area, making it an ideal long term choice for families.
- Front development positioning: Being perfectly positioned near the front of the development ensures quick and easy entry and exit without navigating deep into the estate.
- Expansive reception hall: A large welcoming entrance hallway featuring decorative ceiling coving sets an impressive and spacious tone for the entire ground floor living accommodation.
- Cozy main living room: The dedicated sitting space features a striking marble fireplace with a functional open fire, creating a warm focal point for winter evenings.
- Flexible dining connection: Double doors connect the main living room directly to the dining room, allowing buyers to create an open plan entertaining space when desired.
- Functional oak kitchen: The kitchen is fitted with a practical range of oak press units and includes direct access to the rear garden for outdoor dining convenience.
- Handy family room office: A dedicated ground floor multi use room measuring over four meters in length provides fantastic flexibility for remote working or children's play.
- Convenient ground floor toilet: The inclusion of a guest water closet on the ground level adds significant everyday practicality for visiting guests and busy family routines.
- Comfortable master bedroom: The primary bedroom benefits from built in wardrobes and a private ensuite bathroom, offering a quiet retreat away from the children's rooms.
- Private walled garden: The rear outdoor space is fully walled and laid in lawn, providing a secure and private area for children to play safely outdoors.
- Double glazed windows: Fitted with PVC double glazed windows throughout, helping to reduce outside noise ingress and improve overall thermal insulation for the occupants.
- Side entrance access: A convenient side entrance connects the front driveway directly to the rear garden, making it easy to bring bins and bicycles around.
- Off street parking: The front exterior features a dedicated driveway providing valuable off street parking space for multiple vehicles in this sought after coastal suburb.
- Solid timber flooring: The interior boasts durable laminate wood flooring across multiple rooms, offering a clean aesthetic that is straightforward to maintain and keep tidy.
- Good storage capacity: The first floor landing provides convenient access to an attic space, ideal for stowing away seasonal belongings and bulky household items.
- Established residential neighbourhood: Residing in a mature estate means buyers benefit from established community character, mature trees, and a settled neighborhood atmosphere.
But keep in mind:
- Subpar energy rating: The building energy rating sits at a relatively poor D2, which likely means higher heating bills and necessitates costly future retrofitting investments.
- Oil fired heating system: The property relies on oil fired radiator central heating rather than modern natural gas, which can be less efficient and requires manual fuel ordering.
- Compact fifth bedroom: The fifth bedroom is quite compact in dimensions, potentially limiting its utility to a nursery, very small child room, or a cramped home office.
- Shared bathroom facilities: Having only one main family bathroom serving four separate bedrooms on the upper floor may create morning bottlenecks during busy household routines.
- Dated interior finishes: Prospective buyers should budget for potential cosmetic modernization throughout, as many surfaces and fixtures reflect earlier styling choices that require refreshing.
- Open fire emissions: The traditional open fire in the main living room is less thermally efficient than a modern stove and can contribute to indoor air quality concerns.
- Potential electrical updates: Given the maturity of the estate, buyers should commission an independent electrical survey to verify that wiring meets current safety standards and regulations.
- Upgrading insulation needs: Achieving a modern energy efficiency standard will likely demand substantial capital investment in external wall insulation, upgraded attic layers, and modern heating controls.
- Plumbing system review: The plumbing system should be thoroughly inspected by a qualified professional to check the condition of pipes and the water cylinder given the property age.
- Window seal checks: Although fitted with double glazing, the buyer should verify the age and condition of window seals to prevent drafts and potential condensation issues.
- Roof structure inspection: An expert roof survey is recommended to check the integrity of timbers, slates, and flashing, ensuring there are no hidden leaks or structural sagging.
- Surface water drainage: Buyers should investigate local site drainage and ensure the walled rear garden properly manages heavy rainfall without pooling near the building foundations.
- Boundary wall condition: The structural stability and legal boundaries of the private walled rear garden should be carefully checked by your solicitor during the conveyancing process.
- Traffic and parking congestion: Proximity to the front of the development and local amenities might introduce occasional visitor parking congestion or higher local traffic volumes at peak times.
- Appliance condition check: The listing notes spaces and units in the kitchen, but buyers must verify whether white goods are included and if they are in good working order.
- Attic conversion potential: While the attic offers storage, buyers hoping to convert it into habitable space should consult an architect regarding structural headroom and compliance requirements.
- External maintenance upkeep: Painted exterior surfaces and gutters will require regular ongoing maintenance to prevent weather damage in this exposed coastal marine environment.
- Acoustic insulation limits: Semi detached living can occasionally transmit noise from neighbors through shared party walls, so buyers should assess acoustic privacy during viewings.
- Ventilation adequacy: The bathrooms and kitchen should be inspected for proper mechanical extraction fans to prevent dampness and mold growth in heavily utilized moisture zones.
- Future retrofit grants: Buyers should research current government grant schemes available for D2 rated homes to calculate potential financial offsets for necessary energy upgrade works.
Price positioning
?
- The asking price appears attractively positioned when evaluated against historical transaction records within the immediate neighbourhood, suggesting potential value relative to recently achieved figures for comparable residential properties in the surrounding area.
- Valuation signals are reinforced by robust local transaction activity showing higher figures for similar homes, though the subject property features a modest floor area that may explain the positioning.
- Potential factors supporting this competitive price level include standard decorative condition and layout configurations, whereas significant upgrades or modernizations could easily justify a higher valuation in this coastal district.
- Market dynamics, buyer demand fluctuations, and energy efficiency ratings will ultimately dictate whether competitive bidding pushes the final transaction value significantly beyond the initial asking price.
Build Analysis
What we know from similar construction types
- The property is a double-fronted five-bedroom semi-detached house measuring approximately 145 square metres.
- Features PVC double-glazed windows and oil-fired radiator central heating, though a buyer should investigate the age and efficiency of the existing boiler system.
- Given the maturity of the development, a surveyor should check for any potential issues related to older plumbing, electrical wiring, and roof insulation.
- The presence of an open fire in the living room should be inspected for proper flue and chimney maintenance.
- A buyer should verify if any internal alterations or conversions (such as the family room/office space) comply with local building regulations and planning standards.
Retrofit Cost*
Possible renovating / insulating expenditure
- The property has a D2 BER rating, indicating that a deep retrofit is required to bring it to a modern energy efficiency standard (such as a B2 or A rating).
- A comprehensive retrofit including external wall insulation, upgraded attic insulation, window and door replacements if necessary, and upgrading the heating system to a heat pump could cost between €40,000 and €65,000, depending on contractor rates and grant availability through SEAI.
Heating cost*
Estimated expense to heat this property every year
- Estimated annual heating cost: approximately 2,200 to 2,800 euro.
- Explanation: The property has a floor area of 145 square metres and a D2 energy rating, combined with oil-fired radiator central heating. Due to the lower BER rating indicating higher heat loss compared to modern energy-efficient homes, energy consumption for heating will be relatively high.
