What you'll like:
- Spacious Floor Area: The property spans an impressive 207 square metres, providing exceptionally generous living quarters that easily accommodate a growing family without feeling cramped.
- Substantial Site Size: Sitting on just under half an acre, the expansive plot offers great outdoor space for gardening, children to play, and future landscaping projects.
- South West Aspect: The rear of the house and sun room face south west, ensuring wonderful natural light throughout the afternoon and evening for maximum comfort.
- Dual Living Spaces: Featuring two large living rooms on the ground floor, the home provides versatile entertainment areas including a bay window and a cosy stove.
- Open Plan Dining: The expansive kitchen and dining area flows seamlessly into the sun room, creating a fantastic social hub for daily family life and hosting guests.
- Abundant Bedrooms: There are four generous double bedrooms upstairs, ensuring every family member enjoys plenty of personal space and comfortable accommodation options.
- Multiple En-Suites: Two of the four bedrooms benefit from dedicated en-suite bathrooms, reducing morning queue times and adding a touch of everyday luxury for occupants.
- Included Appliances: The kitchen sale includes major integrated items like the eye-level oven, microwave, and large fridge freezer, saving buyers immediate setup expenses upon moving in.
- Dedicated Utility Room: A separate utility room provides practical space for laundry and extra storage, keeping the main kitchen clutter-free and functioning efficiently.
- Large Detached Garage: A substantial two-storey block-built detached garage includes electrics and a heated upper area, offering immense potential for a workshop, home office, or hobby space.
- Solar Thermal Integration: Equipped with solar panels dedicated to water heating, the home benefits from enhanced energy efficiency to reduce typical daily utility costs.
- Convenient Location: Situated just outside the well-serviced village of Murrintown, residents enjoy a peaceful rural lifestyle while remaining only a short drive from Wexford Town.
- Private Setting: Tucked away alongside only two other homes, the property offers a quieter, more secluded environment while retaining a clear legal right of way.
- Solid Construction Year: Built in 2001, the dwelling benefits from relatively modern construction standards compared to older rural housing stock, reducing immediate major structural concerns.
- Generous Bathrooms: Alongside the two en-suites, the main family bathroom features a stylish freestanding bath, providing a relaxing retreat after long working days.
- Ample Parking Space: The large site and extensive garage infrastructure easily accommodate multiple vehicles, making it ideal for households with several cars or visiting guests.
- Functional Storage: Numerous built-in wardrobes, a walk-in wardrobe, and under-stair storage ensure belongings are neatly organized throughout the entire house.
- Stable Pricing Strategy: The asking price has remained unchanged at €475,000 since tracking began, suggesting a firm vendor stance and a straightforward initial valuation approach.
- Outdoor Connection: Direct access from the dining and sun room areas to the patio creates a smooth indoor-outdoor lifestyle during warmer weather months.
- Modern Heating Systems: The combination of oil-fired central heating and radiators linked to the detached garage upper level ensures reliable warmth across the entire property footprint.
But keep in mind:
- Moderate BER Rating: The property holds a C energy rating, which means buyers should budget for potential upgrades to improve insulation and reduce overall heating expenses.
- Private Wastewater Treatment: Relying on a septic tank requires regular maintenance, potential de-sludging, and inspection to ensure compliance with environmental standards and proper long-term functionality.
- Shared Access Lane: Because this home is tucked away with others, buyers must verify the legal clarity of the right of way and maintenance responsibilities for the shared approach.
- Garage Planning Status: Buyers should investigate whether the two-storey detached garage has full planning permission and compliance for its upper-floor habitable-style finish.
- Rural Dependency: Located outside the village, residents will likely rely heavily on private cars for daily commuting, school runs, and accessing broader retail amenities.
- Heating Fuel Costs: Utilizing oil-fired central heating exposes occupants to volatile fossil fuel pricing, meaning supplemental heating solutions or insulation improvements should be considered.
- Septic Tank Location: The exact positioning and percolation area of the septic tank within the half-acre site should be formally checked by a surveyor to ensure no future boundary disputes.
- Upkeep of Large Grounds: Managing just under half an acre of gardens requires significant ongoing physical effort and landscaping maintenance from the homeowner.
- Potential Insulation Gaps: Given its 2001 construction date, thermal bridging or window seals may require professional inspection to ensure maximum energy retention during winter months.
- Window Orientation Drafts: Large double-aspect and bay windows, while attractive, can sometimes contribute to heat loss if double glazing seals have degraded over time.
- En-Suite Ventilation: Buyers should inspect the en-suite bathrooms to verify that mechanical extraction fans are fully operational to prevent dampness and mould accumulation.
- Water Pressure Checks: Since the property relies on mains water combined with a large hot water tank system, checking flow rates across multiple bathrooms simultaneously is advisable.
- Appliance Lifespan: While the included kitchen appliances are a bonus, buyers should test their working condition during surveys as replacement costs would fall entirely on them.
- Roof Space Inspection: The attic hatch and roof timbers should be thoroughly examined by a surveyor to check for adequate insulation depth and general structural integrity.
- Garage Heating Efficiency: Running the garage radiator system off the main house central heating may impact overall home heating efficiency if not properly zoned and managed.
- Flooring Wear and Tear: Semi-solid timber and laminate flooring throughout heavy-traffic areas like hallways and living rooms may show scuffs requiring future refinishing or replacement.
- Surface Water Drainage: Buyers should verify that the south-west facing patio and surrounding grounds drain effectively during heavy rainfall to prevent pooling near foundations.
- Boundary Demarcation: Exact property boundaries on the half-acre site should be carefully cross-referenced with the title maps by your legal representative prior to closing.
- Limited Price Flexibility: The stable asking price history indicates the seller may hold firm on the €475,000 valuation, offering limited room for aggressive initial negotiations.
- Future Maintenance Outlays: The sheer scale of a 207 square metre home and detached garage means long-term painting, roof upkeep, and general maintenance will involve higher costs.
Price positioning
?
- The asking price appears somewhat overvalued when compared against historical transactions recorded on the same road, where similar residential properties have achieved noticeably lower declared sales figures over recent years.
- Valuation signals show a substantial floor area of 207 square metres accompanied by a large detached two-storey garage, which provides considerable extra square footage that partly justifies a higher price point.
- Support for this asking price relies heavily on the excellent south-west facing aspect, modern solar water heating features, and a spacious half-acre site, though buyers might challenge the valuation given the C energy rating.
- Relevant market dynamics suggest that rural detached homes near Wexford Town command strong buyer interest, though prospective purchasers will likely weigh the local precedent transactions heavily during any competitive bidding or negotiation phase.
