Methodology
Closed sales time-adjusted to current market · size-weighted where floor area available · no asking prices or agent estimates used.
How adjustments work
- —Older sales inflated to current market level so stale data doesn't skew bands
- —Similar-sized properties weighted more heavily where floor area is known
- —Local price trends factored in when sufficient data exists; no artificial uplift otherwise
- —All figures from registered closed sales only — no asking prices, no agent estimates
Local Market Notes
Property Quality
Generous Size and Configuration: With 466m² and 6 bedrooms/5 bathrooms, this property offers substantial space, far exceeding the median of 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms found within 100km.
Details
- BER C2 Rating: The C2 BER rating suggests moderate energy efficiency, implying annual energy costs are likely higher than A or B-rated properties but better than D or lower ratings; specific savings compared to a D-rated property of similar size (e.g., saving €1,000-€1,400 annually) can be achieved with targeted upgrades.
- Potential for Value Enhancement: Investing in energy efficiency upgrades to a B2 rating could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000 and potentially increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000, offering a tangible return on investment.
- Hypothesis: The considerable size and bedroom/bathroom count of Beech House, while appealing for large families, may be a market mismatch in a region where the median property has 3 bedrooms, potentially impacting its marketability and value unless targeted towards a specific buyer demographic that prioritizes extensive living space over typical market demand.
Amenities
Limited Local Transport Data: Specific public transport routes, train stations, or Luas/DART stops directly serving Lough Bawn, Oldcastle are not detailed in the provided raw data, suggesting potential reliance on private transport.
Details
- Proximity to Basic Services: While detailed amenities are not specified, Oldcastle generally offers essential local services such as primary schools, local shops, and healthcare clinics, catering to daily needs.
- Rural Lifestyle Appeal: The address suggests a rural or semi-rural setting, likely offering tranquility and access to natural landscapes, which may appeal to buyers seeking a quieter lifestyle away from urban centers.
- Hypothesis: The lack of specific public transport links and detailed amenities within the provided data suggests that Beech House's primary value proposition lies in its spaciousness and rural setting, rather than its connectivity or proximity to urban amenities, which may limit its appeal to commuters or those prioritizing immediate access to a wide range of services.
