- Built-in wardrobe storage: Both bedrooms feature built-in storage units, maximizing the functional floor space and saving buyers money on custom furniture.

- Enclosed private garden: The secure back garden provides a safe outdoor space for children or pets, ideal for outdoor dining and relaxing.
- Gas central heating: Equipped with a gas-fired central heating system and a housed boiler, ensuring reliable warmth and temperature control during winter months.
- Active security alarm: The hallway features an installed alarm pad system, offering an immediate layer of security and peace of mind for new occupants.
- Understairs storage utility: The living room includes clever understairs storage space, helping buyers keep household clutter neatly tucked away out of sight.
- Walking distance town: The home is located within walking distance of Rush town centre, granting easy daily access to local shops and services.
- Major supermarket proximity: Main grocery providers like Tesco and SuperValu are situated nearby, making weekly shopping trips exceptionally convenient for residents.
- Coastal beach access: The local sandy beach and scenic harbour area are only a few minutes walk away, offering fantastic weekend leisure opportunities.
- Local public transport: The area is served well by a reliable bus network including the 33 and 33X routes for commuting into the city.
- Commuter rail connection: Rush and Lusk train station is a short drive away, providing regular daily rail services to Dublin city centre and beyond.
- Fast motorway access: The M1 motorway is reachable within minutes, facilitating very straightforward driving routes toward the airport and port tunnel.
- Diverse local sports: Residents enjoy proximity to GAA, soccer, sailing, and Rush Golf Club, catering to a wide variety of active lifestyle interests.
- Local theatrical culture: The nearby Millbank Theatre offers local cultural entertainment options just a short distance from the residential development.
- Stable asking price: The tracking history shows a consistent asking price of €335000 with no erratic fluctuations, signaling a stable initial pricing strategy.
- Manageable floor area: The 72 square metre layout provides an efficient footprint that is economical to heat, clean, and maintain over time.
But keep in mind:
- C1 energy rating: The C1 BER rating indicates energy performance that falls short of modern nearly zero-energy standards, so buyers should budget for future insulation upgrades.
- Compact floor space: At 72 square metres, the overall living footprint is relatively modest, which may feel restricted for a growing family over the long term.
- Single second bedroom: Bedroom two is a single room measuring 2.2m by 4.0m, limiting furniture layouts and long-term versatility for older children.
- Open fire reliance: The living room features a traditional open fireplace which is less energy efficient than a closed stove and can cause heat loss up the chimney.
- Communal parking setup: Additional vehicle parking relies on shared communal bays, which may occasionally lead to availability issues during peak evening hours.
- Limited bathroom count: The home has one main upstairs bathroom and an ensuite, plus a downstairs WC, which might create morning queues in a busy household.
- Kitchen appliance verification: Buyers should verify the working order and exact age of included kitchen appliances like the oven, fridge, and washing machine.
- Boiler servicing check: The gas boiler is located in the kitchen and buyers should inspect its service history records to ensure reliability and avoid replacement costs.
- Attic insulation check: Due to the C1 energy rating, buyers should inspect the attic space to confirm adequate insulation depth and proper roof ventilation.
- Management fee inquiry: Prospective buyers should investigate whether the development has a residents association or management company requiring annual service charge fees.
- Boundary line verification: Legal advisors should carefully verify the precise legal boundaries of the enclosed rear garden and any shared party walls.
- Public transport reliance: While bus and train links are nearby, commuters should test actual peak-hour travel times to Dublin to confirm daily transit comfort.
- Rush infrastructure growth: Buyers should investigate local council plans regarding population growth and school capacity to ensure community infrastructure keeps pace.
- Window seal inspection: Double-glazed windows should be checked for trapped condensation or seal failures that could compromise thermal efficiency.
- Ventilation check: Bathrooms should be inspected for adequate mechanical extraction fans to prevent dampness and mould buildup in tiled wet areas.
- Flooring wear assessment: Carpet flooring in the living room, stairs, and bedrooms may require professional cleaning or eventual replacement by the new owner.
- Internal door clearance: Buyers should check door clearances and carpet heights to ensure smooth operation throughout the well-proportioned rooms.
- Television point locations: TV connection points are currently limited to the main living room, so buyers might need to install extra cabling for bedrooms.
- Storage limitation check: Apart from built-in wardrobes and understairs spaces, overall storage is limited, requiring careful management of household belongings.
- Future resale liquidity: Two-bedroom terraced houses appeal primarily to first-time buyers and downsizers, which can influence future market liquidity during downturns.
Price positioning
?
- The asking price appears modestly elevated relative to several recent transactions within the exact same residential development, though it remains broadly competitive when compared against broader regional market activity across the wider town area.
- Valuation signals show a mix of supportive factors including turn-key presentation and an owner-occupied history, balanced against a C1 energy rating and a floor area of seventy-two square meters that sits near the lower end for family housing.
- Market support could be reinforced by strong local buyer demand, proximity to coastal amenities and transport links, whereas downside risks include competing properties achieving lower recorded prices on the same street.
- The stable asking-history pattern indicates a firm initial pricing strategy by the vendor, suggesting limited immediate downward flexibility but leaving room for modest negotiation depending on final levels of competitive interest.
