What you'll like:

  • Generous half acre site: The property sits on a large 0.21 hectare plot providing expansive front and rear lawned gardens suitable for family activities.
  • Village center location: Situated right in the heart of Aglish Village placing local amenities like the shop, post office, primary school, church and pub on your doorstep.
  • No onward chain: The home is currently vacant which allows for an early close of sale without delays from upper chains.
  • Recent oil burner upgrade: Features a newly installed oil fired central heating burner providing improved reliability and heating efficiency for the new owner.
  • Freshly redecorated interiors: The residence has been recently redecorated throughout meaning buyers can move in immediately without undertaking urgent cosmetic works.
  • Included fixtures and fittings: All floor coverings, window furnishings, light fittings and integrated appliances are included in the sale adding immediate value for first time buyers.
  • Close to primary school: Aglish National School is within a short walking distance making the morning school run exceptionally convenient for young families.
  • Secondary school transport: A school bus service is available nearby providing direct access to secondary schools located in nearby Dungarvan.
  • Proximity to river amenities: Villierstown Quay and the scenic Blackwater river amenities are located within 3.7 kilometers offering great outdoor recreation options.
  • Short drive to beaches: Coastal beaches are accessible within a fifteen minute drive giving residents easy access to seaside leisure activities.
  • Main services connected: The property benefits from connections to mains water and mains sewerage avoiding the maintenance issues associated with private septic tanks.
  • Off street parking space: There is dedicated off street parking available to the rear of the residence for secure and convenient vehicle storage.
  • Additional outdoor storage: The grounds include two block built garden sheds providing practical secure space for tools, bicycles and equipment storage.
  • Development potential: The generous site size offers future potential for building a garage or workshop subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions.
  • Starter home appeal: The three bedroom layout and accessible price point make this an ideal choice for first time buyers or retirees scaling down.
  • Spacious kitchen diner: Features a generous kitchen and breakfast area measuring 5.7 meters by 3.7 meters providing ample room for family dining.
  • Dual aspect bedroom: Bedroom one features a dual aspect design that allows plenty of natural light to flood into the sleeping space.
  • Stable asking price: The asking price has remained stable at 245,000 euros since tracking began indicating a firm vendor expectation without erratic price fluctuations.
  • GAA club proximity: The local GAA facilities and pitch are right on the doorstep offering fantastic sporting opportunities for active children.
  • Manageable floor area: The 81 square meter footprint offers comfortable proportions that are straightforward to heat, clean, and maintain.

But keep in mind:

  • Poor energy rating: The property holds a low BER rating of E with an energy performance indicator of 301.95 kWh per square meter per year.
  • High energy upgrade costs: The E energy rating indicates that substantial insulation, window, or heating upgrades will be needed to improve thermal efficiency.
  • Compact bathroom configuration: The sole shower room measures 3.6 meters by 2.9 meters and serves as the only bathing facility for all three bedrooms.
  • Limited indoor footprint: With a total floor area of 81.04 square meters, growing families may eventually find the interior accommodation somewhat restrictive.
  • Potential planning restrictions: Any future construction of a garage or workshop on the large site will remain strictly subject to local planning permission approval.
  • Outbuilding condition check: Buyers should verify the structural soundness and roofing integrity of the two existing block built garden sheds during inspections.
  • Older window efficiency: Prospective buyers should inspect the double glazing and window seals closely to determine if replacements are needed to combat the low BER.
  • Roof space insulation check: Due to the E energy rating, a thorough surveyor inspection of attic and wall cavity insulation levels is strongly recommended.
  • Village traffic and parking: Village center living right beside local amenities could occasionally bring localized traffic, pedestrian activity, and roadside parking congestion.
  • Maintenance of large lawns: Maintaining the expansive 0.5 acre front and rear lawned gardens will require a significant ongoing time and equipment investment.
  • Single bathroom bottleneck: Having only one shared shower room for a three bedroom house may create household queues during busy morning routines.
  • Extended structure checks: Because the listing notes this is an extended semi detached home, a surveyor should inspect the junction between the original and new sections.
  • Rural septic and water checks: Although connected to main services, buyers should verify the local municipal pipe capacity and drainage infrastructure age.
  • Limited local employment: Aglish is a small rural village meaning most residents will face daily commutes to Dungarvan or other nearby employment centers.
  • Public transport reliance: Public transport options beyond the school bus may be limited, making private car ownership essential for daily errands.
  • Heating cost exposure: The combination of an E energy rating and an oil fired system could result in high winter heating bills until thermal upgrades are completed.
  • Kitchen layout verification: Buyers should check the condition of the fitted kitchen units and plumbing connections to ensure no hidden water damage exists.
  • Surface water drainage: Given the large lawn areas, buyers should inspect the grounds after heavy rain to ensure proper surface water runoff and drainage.
  • Boundary fence verification: Buyers must inspect the legal folio maps carefully with their solicitor to verify the exact boundaries of the 0.21 hectare plot.
  • Future resale liquidity: Rural village properties with low BER ratings may experience slower appreciation or liquidity compared to modern suburban urban homes.

Price positioning

?
This comparison depends on limited public and listing evidence, which may be incomplete, outdated or not directly comparable. The score is not a percentage, professional valuation or guaranteed estimate. Ask an independent qualified valuer before relying on a property value.
The asking price looks strongly undervalued compared with the available evidence.
  • The asking price of €245,000 appears notably undervalued when compared against official transaction records for similar properties in the same immediate locality, which frequently achieve significantly higher figures on the housing market.
  • Positive valuation signals include the substantial half-acre site providing exceptional outdoor space and development potential, contrasted against potential downward valuation pressures from the property's modest floor area and relatively poor energy rating.
  • Strong local demand for village-centre housing and the inclusion of a vacant property allowing for an early close could support such an asking price, while the inefficient energy performance could undermine buyer enthusiasm.
  • The stable asking-price history observed since tracking began suggests a firm pricing strategy by the agent, aiming to attract keen interest from first-time buyers or retirees looking for convenient rural village living.

Build Analysis

What we know from similar construction types

  • The property is an extended semi-detached home featuring an E BER rating, indicating lower energy efficiency that likely requires fabric upgrades.
  • The listing notes that the home has been recently redecorated and features a recently installed oil-fired burner, though a thorough inspection of the older original structure versus the extension should be undertaken.
  • The substantial 0.5-acre site offers potential for future development, such as a garage or workshop, though a buyer should verify that any proposed works comply with local planning regulations.
  • The presence of two block garden sheds should be inspected for structural integrity and dampness.

Retrofit Cost*

Possible renovating / insulating expenditure

  • The property has a BER rating of E, which falls within the D–G category requiring a deep retrofit to achieve a modern energy efficiency standard (typically a B2 rating or higher).
  • A comprehensive deep retrofit for an 81 square metre home of this type—including external wall insulation, upgraded windows and doors, attic insulation, heat pump installation or heating system optimization, and airtightness measures—is estimated to cost between EUR 35,000 and EUR 55,000, depending on contractor rates and grant availability through SEAI schemes.

Heating cost*

Estimated expense to heat this property every year

  • Estimated annual heating cost is 1,800 to 2,200 euro.
  • This estimate reflects the 81 square meter floor area and an E energy rating, indicating lower thermal efficiency despite the recently installed oil-fired burner, which may lead to higher oil consumption during colder months.

Water overflow reports to follow up

  • Mapping indicates that nearby river flood zones come within a short distance of the property, meaning extreme weather events could bring rising waters close to the site boundaries.
  • The context of being situated within a village setting near river amenities warrants caution regarding local drainage capacity during prolonged periods of heavy rainfall.
  • While mapped flood zones are close by, the property itself sits outside the immediate modelled hazard extents under standard return periods.
Supporting evidence: Medium

The property is outside the mapped flood area. But the nearest mapped area is approximately 4 metres away.
