  • Master ensuite bathroom: The main bedroom features a private ensuite fitted with an electric shower for added household convenience.
  • Bright kitchen extension: A sunroom and dining extension featuring Velux windows floods the rear of the home with natural light.
  • Quality kitchen appliances: The maple shaker kitchen comes fully equipped with integrated Siemens and Neff appliances ready for immediate use.
  • Separate utility room: A dedicated utility space with fitted units and sink helps keep laundry tasks separate from the main kitchen areas.
  • Welcoming sitting room: The main reception room includes a classic mahogany fireplace and gas insert providing a cozy focal point.
  • Turnkey presentation: The interior is exceptionally clean and well-maintained allowing new owners to move in without immediate redecoration.
  • Included furnishings: All carpets, curtains, light fittings, and specified kitchen appliances are included in the sale price.

  • Ample off-street parking: The front driveway provides plenty of off-street parking alongside a neat lawn area.
  • Established neighbourhood: Located in a mature and highly sought-after residential development known for peace and safety.
  • Proximity to transport: Hazelhatch Train Station is a short drive away providing regular commuter services to Dublin City Centre.
  • Convenient motorway access: The nearby M4 and M50 motorways facilitate straightforward driving connections across the wider region.
  • Local amenities nearby: The property sits close to local schools, shops, and community services in Celbridge.
  • Strong energy upgrade potential: The BER report suggests the home has a theoretical potential to reach an A1 energy rating.

But keep in mind:

  • Moderate BER rating: The current C energy rating indicates that substantial insulation or heating upgrades may be required to achieve optimal energy efficiency.
  • Historical extension date typo: The listing text humorously claims the kitchen was extended in 1918, suggesting potential typos in documentation that require legal verification.
  • A1 rating feasibility: Achieving the stated potential A1 energy rating would likely require extensive and costly deep retrofitting works.
  • Untested services disclaimer: The agents explicitly state that apparatus, fixtures, fittings, and services have not been tested by them.
  • Boundary verification needed: Buyers should independently verify exact boundary lines and fence ownership as the agent does not define them.
  • Planning permission caveats: The large detached garage and outbuildings may require checked planning compliance depending on intended future uses like home offices.
  • Build year considerations: Constructed in 1982, the property is over forty years old and may require closer inspection of older plumbing and wiring.
  • North-west garden orientation: The back garden has a north-west aspect which might limit direct sunlight during certain parts of the day.
  • Single main bathroom load: Serving four bedrooms with only one main family bathroom and one ensuite could create morning bottlenecks.
  • Gas heating system age: Buyers should have the gas-fired central heating boiler and associated radiators thoroughly inspected by a qualified professional.
  • Attic insulation status: Pull-down attic stairs provide easy access, but insulation levels should be verified against modern standards.
  • Potential window seals: PVC double-glazed windows should be checked for condensation or seal failure given the property's age.
  • Drains and sewerage condition: As mains sewerage is connected, a CCTV drain survey is recommended to check for root ingress or pipe damage.
  • Electrical fuse box check: The listing mentions an older-style fuse box in the hallway which may require an electrical safety upgrade.
  • Management or estate fees: Buyers should verify if there are any active residents associations or maintenance fees for communal green areas.
  • Title and covenant review: Legal advisors should carefully examine property deeds for any restrictive covenants typical of mature estates.
  • Local development plans: Buyers should check local Kildare county development plans for any nearby zoning changes or future construction projects.
  • Fittings condition report: Although appliances are included, their working lifespan cannot be guaranteed without an independent surveyor's check.
  • Roof timber inspection: A thorough structural survey should check the roof timbers for any signs of damp, rot, or sagging.
  • Asking price reflection: At €695,000, buyers should commission an independent valuation to ensure the price aligns with recent comparable local sales.

Build Analysis

What we know from similar construction types

  • The property is a 4-bedroom detached bungalow originally built in 1982, featuring a kitchen/dining extension and a sunroom.
  • Buyers should verify that all necessary planning permissions and building regulations compliance certificates were obtained for the kitchen extension and sunroom added to the original footprint.
  • The inclusion of a large detached garage and block-built shed offers potential for future adaptation, though buyers should investigate local planning rules regarding any intended uses such as a home office or independent apartment.
  • Given the 1982 construction date, buyers should inspect the condition of the roof, electrical fuse box, and plumbing systems, and check for adequate attic insulation.
  • The BER rating is currently C, indicating reasonable energy efficiency, but buyers should review the specific recommendations in the BER advisory report to understand potential upgrades.
