- Multiple Bathroom Facilities: In addition to the ensuite, the home features a separate fully equipped shower room with dual shower options to accommodate family and guest needs easily.

- Resort Proximity Benefits: The nearby Knightsbrook Hotel, Spa, and Golf Resort adds a touch of local luxury and leisure convenience just moments away from the residential setting.
But keep in mind:
- C-Class Energy Rating: The BER rating sits at C with an energy performance indicator of 216.42 kWh/m2/yr, which may necessitate future upgrades to improve thermal efficiency.
- Internal Oil Boiler: The oil-fired central heating system utilizes an internal boiler which occupies valuable space inside the utility area and creates operational noise indoors.
- Single-Skin Tank Setup: The property relies on an external P.V.C. oil tank and coal bunker, which should be inspected regularly for weathering and environmental compliance standards.
- Limited Expansion Potential: Being a detached bungalow on an established site, extending the footprint significantly might prove challenging without compromising the easy-care garden space.
- Dated Interior Elements: While generally well-maintained, buyers may wish to update certain decorative finishes, bathroom fixtures, or kitchen aesthetics to match contemporary modern preferences.
- Traffic Noise Exposure: Positioned just off the busy Dublin Road (R154), front rooms and the driveway might experience occasional traffic noise during peak commuting hours daily.
- Drainage and Runoff: The extensive paved patio and tarmac driveway create substantial impermeable surfaces, so buyers should verify that surface water drainage away from the walls is adequate.
- Roof and Attic Insulation: Given the 1995 construction date, the buyer should commission a thorough surveyor's check on current attic insulation levels to verify compliance with modern standards.
- Plumbing Maintenance Age: Original 1995 plumbing fixtures and piping should be professionally inspected to guard against potential leaks or premature wear in hidden wall cavities.
- Electrical System Capacity: The consumer unit and electrical wiring should be tested by a certified electrician to ensure they can safely handle modern heavy household power loads.
- Boundary Demarcation Check: Buyers must verify that all boundary walls and side gates align precisely with legal title deeds to prevent any potential neighbor disputes regarding property lines.
- Window and Door Seals: The PVC windows and exterior doors should be checked for degraded double-glazing seals, drafts, or operational wear that could compromise home thermal retention.
- Flat Roof Additions Risk: Any concealed flat roof sections over extensions or porches require careful inspection by a surveyor to check for potential water pooling or membrane degradation.
- Ventilation and Dampness: Internal bathrooms and utility spaces lack external windows in certain layouts, meaning buyers must ensure mechanical extractor fans are fully operational to prevent mold.
- Radon Gas Precautions: County Meath can experience elevated radon levels, so a thorough environmental test is recommended to ensure indoor gas concentrations remain well within safe limits.
- Local Planning Restrictions: Being located near historic areas like the Echo Gate and Porchfields, future exterior modifications or extensions might face strict local planning authority oversight.
- High Capital Outlay: At an asking price of €530,000 for a three-bedroom property, buyers should ensure local market values fully support this per-square-metre valuation for long-term equity.
- Lack of Garage: The absence of a permanent garage means all storage must rely on indoor closets and garden sheds, which may not suit buyers with heavy outdoor equipment hobbies.
- Hedge Maintenance Required: The mature laurel hedgerow bordering the front driveway requires regular seasonal trimming to keep the property looking neat and prevent obstruction of the pathway.
- Market Competition Speed: Well-located detached bungalows in Trim attract strong buyer interest, meaning prospective purchasers should act decisively during the viewing and bidding process.
Price positioning
?
- The asking price appears modestly positioned relative to surrounding market activity, sitting below certain recent local benchmarks while reflecting the property type.
- Upward valuation signals stem from the generous floor area, detached bungalow format, and high specification finishes, though counterbalanced by a mid-range energy rating.
- Strong local demand for well-maintained single-level accommodation supports the current figure, whereas potential retrofit costs for the energy profile could undermine buyer enthusiasm.
- Relevant factors include the established residential setting near town amenities and the stability of the asking price since initial listing without recorded reductions.
Build Analysis

- Given the presence of an internal oil boiler and oil-fired central heating, a buyer should verify the maintenance history and compliance of the boiler and PVC oil tank.

Heating cost*
Estimated expense to heat this property every year
- Estimated annual heating cost is approximately 1,600 euro to 2,200 euro.
- The property has a C BER rating and features oil-fired central heating with an internal oil boiler as well as a wood-burning insert stove in the sitting room, which will influence overall energy consumption.
Pollution Safe
9/10Environmental situation to investigate
- The property is situated in an established residential neighbourhood with no apparent immediate proximity to major heavy industrial facilities, active landfills, or municipal waste incinerators.
- Any historical or legacy land use concerns in the wider Meath region are generally distant, though standard environmental due diligence is recommended to verify local soil and water conditions.
Flood Safe
8/10Water overflow reports to follow up
- The property is located a short distance away from mapped river flood areas associated with the nearby River Boyne corridor.
- Official CFRAM studies indicate that modelled 1% and 0.1% annual probability flood zones remain separated from the immediate building footprint.
- The home is a detached single-level bungalow, meaning any localized surface water accumulation would have direct ground-level access without the buffer of elevated living quarters.
