What you'll like:
- High energy efficiency rating: The property achieves an impressive B energy rating, which should translate into significantly lower monthly heating costs and a warmer, more comfortable living environment year-round.
- Extensive 2006 renovation: Complete rewiring, replumbing, and window replacements carried out in 2006 reduce the immediate risk of major infrastructure failures and expensive near-term maintenance for the buyer.
- Substantial floor area: Offering approximately 148 square meters of living space, this generously proportioned home provides ample room for a growing family or buyers seeking dedicated remote work spaces.
- Flexible ground floor room: The inclusion of a versatile ground floor room provides an ideal setup for a home office, playroom, or an accessible extra bedroom for guests.
- Convenient town centre proximity: Situated within easy walking distance of local Ennis town amenities, this location drastically reduces reliance on cars for daily shopping, dining, and errands.
- Excellent commuter access: Being located only a few minutes drive from the Ennis bypass ensures rapid connectivity onto the major M18 motorway linking to Galway, Limerick, and Shannon.
- Dual reception rooms: Featuring two distinct reception rooms, the layout offers fantastic flexibility for separate family lounging, formal entertaining, or a dedicated media screening space.
- Modern kitchen features: The well-appointed kitchen includes built-in appliances such as a five-ring gas hob, raised eye-level oven, and a convenient wine cooler for modern culinary convenience.
- Dedicated utility room: A separate utility room with plumbing for laundry appliances and integrated storage keeps messy household chores tucked away from the main kitchen and dining zones.
- Master bedroom ensuite: The primary bedroom benefits from a fully tiled private ensuite featuring a modern corner shower and rainfall showerhead for added daily luxury and privacy.
- Ample built-in storage: Multiple bedrooms feature fitted wardrobes and storage solutions, saving the buyer substantial time and money on purchasing and installing freestanding bedroom furniture.
- South-east facing garden: The secure rear garden enjoys a favorable south-east orientation, maximizing morning and afternoon sunshine for outdoor dining, relaxing, and gardening enthusiasts.
- Private off-street parking: The front driveway provides convenient off-street parking behind a solid block wall boundary, ensuring secure vehicle storage and easy neighborhood loading access.
- Zoned oil central heating: The property features a zoned oil central heating system, allowing for efficient temperature control across different floors and reducing unnecessary energy consumption.
- Fibre broadband availability: High-speed fibre broadband connectivity is available at the location, making this residence perfectly suited for modern remote working professionals and heavy data users.
- Attic storage space: Folding stairs lead up to a floored and lit attic area, providing extremely convenient and easily accessible additional storage for seasonal household items.
- Family-friendly bathroom: The main upstairs bathroom includes a full-sized bath with a side screen and overhead shower, catering perfectly to families with young children or guests.
- Enclosed secure boundaries: Both front and rear gardens feature robust block wall boundaries, offering enhanced privacy, security for pets and children, and peace of mind for homeowners.
- Established residential area: Located in a well-regarded neighbourhood known as Gallows Hill, the home benefits from a stable community feel and long-term desirability within the local market.
- Walk-in condition potential: Having been comprehensively upgraded and meticulously maintained, the property allows new owners to move in immediately without undertaking stressful or costly renovations.
But keep in mind:
- Oil heating system reliance: The property relies on oil for central heating rather than natural gas mains, meaning the buyer should budget for bulk oil deliveries and fluctuating fuel prices.
- Older original build year: Originally constructed in 1972 before the 2006 renovation, the buyer should verify the structural condition of any original framework elements not fully replaced during remodeling.
- Proximity boundary clarity: The buyer should carefully review the legal title maps and boundary lines to ensure the front off-street parking and rear garden limits precisely match the registry data.
- Attic conversion compliance: Given the flooring and lighting in the attic accessed via folding stairs, the buyer's surveyor should verify if any structural modifications meet official building regulations.
- Semi-detached acoustic privacy: As a semi-detached dwelling, sound transmission through the shared party wall is possible, so buyers sensitive to noise should assess acoustic insulation levels during viewings.
- Wastewater infrastructure check: The property connects to mains sewage, but a pre-purchase drain survey is recommended to ensure underground pipes are free from root intrusion or structural blockages.
- Plumbing system age check: Although replumbed in 2006, the pipework is approaching two decades old, making a thorough inspection advisable to confirm there are no hidden leaks or corrosion.
- Electrical system verification: The wiring was upgraded in 2006, but the buyer should request a certified electrician to test the current distribution board to ensure modern safety compliance standards.
- Surface water drainage: The rear garden features decorative stone and lawns, and buyers should verify that proper surface water drainage prevents pooling during heavy Irish winter rainfall events.
- Extension planning compliance: The buyer's solicitor must meticulously check that full local authority planning permission and architectural certification were properly granted for the 2006 ground floor extension.
- BER certificate validity: While holding a strong B rating, buyers should confirm that no subsequent alterations have compromised the energy efficiency metrics since the assessment was registered.
- Window and door seals: The double glazing installed in 2006 is nearly twenty years old; inspection of seals and hinges is recommended to check for drafts, condensation, or mechanical wear.
- Traffic and parking congestion: Being situated close to Ennis town centre and local amenities may bring occasional street traffic and visitor parking congestion during peak weekday hours.
- Garden maintenance requirements: The sleeper-bordered flower beds and lawn areas require ongoing gardening effort, which may not suit buyers looking for a completely low-maintenance exterior.
- Roof timber inspection: Buyers should commission a professional survey to inspect the roof timbers and attic space for any signs of dampness, woodworm, or adequate ventilation behind the insulation.
- Appliance lifespan uncertainty: Included integrated appliances like the dishwasher, oven, and fridge were installed previously, meaning the buyer should budget for potential replacements in the near future.
- Boundary wall condition: While block walls enclose the plot, a physical check for any cracking, shifting, or required repointing on these perimeter structures is advised during the survey.
- Eircode accuracy verification: The buyer should ensure that utility accounts and postal registry details under the provided Eircode correspond accurately with the legal property folio description.
- Insurance risk assessment: Given the property's history of major renovation and extension work, buyers should verify that standard home insurance policies can be secured without special policy exclusions.
- Future local development: The buyer's legal representative should conduct thorough local planning searches to check if any nearby zoned land is designated for future commercial or residential developments.
