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
Energy Efficiency Investment: With a BER D rating, upgrading to a B2 rating would cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000 but could increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000, presenting a solid return on investment while reducing annual energy costs by €1,000-€1,400 compared to a D-rated home.
Exceptional Size: At 120m² with 6 bedrooms, this detached property is significantly larger than the median 3-bedroom homes in the 5km to 10km radii, offering superior space and versatility ideal for large families or those needing dedicated home office areas.
Optimal Bathrooms: The property's 2 bathrooms align with or exceed the median of 1-2 bathrooms for properties sold within a 10km radius, providing adequate facilities for a 6-bedroom home and meeting contemporary family needs.
Hypothesis: The property's unique configuration of 6 bedrooms in 120m² suggests potential for further space optimization or re-layout, such as converting a bedroom to an additional reception room or larger ensuite, which could enhance its market appeal and perceived value to a broader buyer pool beyond just large families.
Amenities
Strategic Transport Access: The property benefits from excellent road access via the nearby M1 motorway, connecting to Dublin and Belfast, complemented by regional Bus Éireann services and Dundalk Clarke Train Station within approximately 8-10km, offering robust commuting options.
Comprehensive Local Services: Located near Dundalk, residents have access to extensive educational facilities including Faughart National School (within 2km) and secondary schools like Dundalk Grammar School, along with healthcare provisions such as local GP clinics and Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda (approx. 30km).
Lifestyle & Retail Hub: The proximity to Dundalk provides a variety of shopping options at Marshes Shopping Centre and Dundalk Retail Park, alongside numerous restaurants, cafes, and recreational facilities like Dundalk Golf Club and local parks, enhancing the quality of life.
Hypothesis: As remote working trends continue, the appeal of rural locations with strong road connectivity like Faughart Lower, benefiting from Dundalk's urban amenities without city congestion, will drive sustained demand for properties in this specific micro-location, potentially increasing the value premium for homes within easy reach of the M1.
