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
BER Uncertainty: Given its unknown BER (SI_666), this property is presumed to be energy inefficient; upgrading to a B2 rating could cost €8,000-€15,000 but potentially add €15,000-€25,000 to its value, while reducing estimated annual energy costs from €1,800-€2,200 to €800-€1,200.
Details
- Compact Living: At just 35m², this 1-bedroom detached property is exceptionally compact, making it significantly smaller than the median 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom homes typically found in the 100km radius, which averaged 2 bathrooms and 3 bedrooms.
- Unusual Layout: The property's configuration of 1 bedroom and 2 bathrooms is highly unusual for its small 35m² size, suggesting a potentially inefficient layout or a recent renovation focused disproportionately on bathroom facilities over living space.
- Hypothesis: The combination of an unknown BER, extremely compact size, and an unconventional 1-bed/2-bath layout suggests this property may be a niche offering, perhaps suited for a single occupant or a holiday home, but requires a buyer prepared for potential layout reconfigurations and energy upgrades to maximize its utility and value.
Amenities
Limited Public Transport: While Craghyboyle offers scenic local routes, public transport connectivity primarily relies on Bus Éireann services, such as Route 291 connecting Dungloe to Letterkenny, with no immediate access to train, Luas, or DART networks.
Details
- Essential Services Nearby: The area provides good access to essential services including primary education at Scoil an Aingil Choimhéadaí and secondary education at Rosses Community School, alongside local healthcare provided by Dungloe Health Centre and pharmacies like Boyle's Pharmacy.
- Local Conveniences & Nature: Residents benefit from convenient local shopping at SuperValu Dungloe and enjoy the natural beauty of Dungloe Bay for walks and recreation, with dining options available at establishments like The Waterfront Hotel.
- Hypothesis: The property's location in Craghyboyle, Dungloe, fosters a serene rural lifestyle with strong community services and access to natural amenities, making it ideal for those seeking tranquility over extensive urban conveniences or diverse public transport options.
