What you'll like:
- Generous corner site: The property occupies a large corner plot that enhances outdoor space and provides a superior level of privacy compared to standard intermediate plots in the development.
- Bungalow layout convenience: Offering single-story accommodation across 141.4 square meters, this home provides accessible living arrangements without interior stairs, making it suitable for various life stages.
- Kitchen extension added: The property features a substantial 2008 extension that expands the kitchen and dining footprint, creating a much larger open-plan layout suited to modern family lifestyles.
- Sunroom living space: A dedicated sunroom flooded with natural light from four Velux windows sits just off the kitchen, offering a comfortable secondary reception space overlooking the rear garden.
- Four double bedrooms: Unlike many bungalows restricted to smaller rooms, this home includes four generously proportioned bedrooms, all equipped with built-in or fitted wardrobes for practical storage.
- Master bedroom ensuite: The primary bedroom includes a private ensuite bathroom fitted with an electric shower, providing essential convenience and privacy away from the main family bathroom.
- Detached garage structure: A large detached garage on the grounds offers exceptional versatility for vehicle parking, workshop activities, or future conversion options subject to relevant planning permissions.
- Block-built garden shed: An additional block-built storage shed with fitted units provides secure external storage space for garden equipment, hobby gear, or household overflow items.
- Turnkey presentation: The interior is presented in a clean, well-maintained condition throughout, allowing new owners to move in immediately without undertaking mandatory cosmetic redecoration projects.
- Included appliances and fittings: The sale includes all fitted light fixtures, curtains, carpets, and major kitchen appliances, reducing immediate setup costs for the incoming buyer.
- Ample off-street parking: The front driveway provides generous off-street parking space for multiple vehicles, accommodating visiting family or multiple car households comfortably.
- Electric vehicle charger: An installed electric vehicle charging point adds future-proof convenience for owners of plug-in hybrid or battery-electric cars.
- Private rear garden: The back garden enjoys a private aspect that is not directly overlooked by neighbouring properties, creating an enclosed and peaceful environment for outdoor relaxation.
- Dual patio areas: The rear outdoor space features two distinct sun-trapped patio areas linked to French double doors, ideal for outdoor dining and following the sun throughout the day.
- Established residential setting: Located within a mature, settled neighbourhood known for its peaceful and safe environment, providing a stable community feel for residents.
- Proximity to local amenities: The property sits within easy reach of local schools, retail shops, and essential services located within the established town of Celbridge.
- Commuter transport links: Hazelhatch Train Station is a short drive away, offering regular rail services directly into Dublin City Centre for daily commuters.
- Major roadway access: The M4 and M50 motorways are easily accessible from the area, facilitating straightforward road travel across Dublin and the wider regional network.
- PVC double glazing: The house benefits from PVC double-glazed windows and PVC fascia and soffits, minimizing ongoing exterior maintenance requirements for the buyer.
- Alarm system installed: A home security alarm system is already installed and operational, offering peace of mind regarding property safety upon moving in.
But keep in mind:
- C2 BER rating: The home carries a C2 energy rating with an indicator of 181.14 kWh/m2/yr, which may lead to higher heating bills and requires upgrades to reach the potential A1 rating.
- North-west garden orientation: The back garden faces north-west, meaning direct sunlight in the rear outdoor areas will be limited during morning hours and heavier winter afternoons.
- Potential retrofit costs: Achieving the theoretical A1 energy efficiency potential will require substantial capital investment in insulation, heat pumps, or window upgrades.
- Unverified extension compliance: Buyers should independently verify that full planning permission and building control compliance certificates were properly obtained for the 2008 kitchen extension.
- Garage conversion permissions: While the detached garage offers potential uses like a home office or apartment, buyers must confirm whether such conversions require specific local authority planning approval.
- 1982 construction age: Built in 1982, the property is over forty years old, meaning prospective buyers should budget for potential modernization of older underlying plumbing or electrical infrastructure.
- Untested services disclaimer: The selling agents explicitly note that heating systems, electrical appliances, and fixtures have not been tested, placing the verification burden entirely on the buyer.
- Boundary definition ambiguity: Official boundaries, fences, and party-structure obligations are not definitively guaranteed in the sales literature, requiring legal confirmation via title deeds.
- Service availability checks: Buyers are advised to independently verify the current capacity and connectivity status of local mains water, sewerage, and broadband services.
- Gas boiler age and condition: The gas-fired central heating boiler is housed in the utility room, but its exact age and remaining operational lifespan should be professionally inspected.
- Single main family bathroom: With only one shared family bathroom serving three of the four bedrooms, busy morning routines may create household bottlenecks.
- Compact ensuite layout: The master ensuite measures 2.45m by 1.02m, providing a relatively narrow footprint that limits internal maneuvering space around the shower and sink.
- Electric shower dependence: Both showers rely on electric units rather than pumped systems fed directly from a hot water cylinder, which can limit water pressure and flow consistency.
- Attic insulation status: While the hallway offers pull-down stair access to the attic, the current depth and thermal performance of attic insulation should be checked during a survey.
- Roof and timber condition: Given the 1982 build date, a thorough structural survey is recommended to assess the condition of the roof timbers, felt, and structural lintels.
- Surface water drainage: The generous hardstanding areas and patio spaces should be checked for adequate surface water drainage to prevent pooling near the building foundations.
- Window seal integrity: Prospective buyers should inspect all double-glazed PVC window units for signs of internal condensation failure or degraded rubber seals.
- Plumbing pipework materials: The condition and material composition of hidden water supply and waste pipework should be evaluated by a qualified plumber during pre-purchase due diligence.
- Electrical fuse box capacity: The hallway houses the main fuse box and alarm controls, which should be inspected by an electrician to ensure compliance with current safety standards.
- Local development changes: Buyers should review local planning registers for any future housing or infrastructure developments that might impact traffic or neighborhood density in Celbridge.
Price positioning
?
- The asking price appears somewhat elevated relative to baseline values for the development, supported by recent local transaction comparisons which show multiple detached or semi-detached dwellings achieving lower price points.
- Upward valuation signals stem from the generous corner site, a substantial detached garage, and a well-executed kitchen and sunroom extension completed in 2008 that enhances overall usable living space.
- Factors that could support this ambitious pricing include strong turnkey condition, high buyer demand for four-bedroom layouts in mature estates, and excellent proximity to local transport links and commuter routes.
- Conversely, elements that might undermine this valuation include a C2 energy rating which could deter buyers facing potential retrofit costs, alongside competing local sales anchoring expectations lower.
