Limited Transaction Data
At €275,000, we cannot reliably position this property — only 1 comparable closed sale was found within 5.0km. More local transactions are needed before the data can support a market position estimate.

Bid Model Unavailable
Not enough closed transaction data for this property.
We found 1 comparable transaction within 5.0km over the past 36 months. A minimum of 3 is required to derive a statistically reliable bid strategy. Purchasing a report is not available for this property.
This can happen for properties in lower-turnover areas or very specific property types. Check back as new transactions register on the Property Price Register, or search for a nearby comparable property.

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 Improvement Potential: Upgrading the D2 BER rating to a B2 could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000 but potentially increase the property's value by €15,000-€20,000, offering a solid return on investment.
Details
- Space Efficiency: At 87m², this 2-bedroom detached property offers a comfortable living space, with a size that aligns with many properties in the €250,000-€300,000 price bracket within a 10km radius.
- Current Value vs. Upgrade: While the current estimated value is €242,097.67, investing in BER upgrades could significantly boost its market appeal and saleability against a D2 rating.
- Hypothesis: The D2 BER rating represents a significant opportunity for value enhancement; by investing in energy efficiency upgrades, the owner could not only reduce ongoing energy costs (estimated €1,800-€2,200 annually compared to €800-€1,200 for a B2 rating) but also unlock substantial capital appreciation.
Amenities
Transport Connectivity: Tuam has limited direct national rail links; the nearest train station is in Athenry (approx. 20km), and bus services are primarily operated by Bus Éireann routes serving local and regional destinations, requiring more comprehensive planning for longer commutes.
Details
- Local Services Access: Brownsgrove is situated in a rural setting, meaning residents will likely rely on Tuam town (approx. 5km) for primary shopping at supermarkets like Tesco and Lidl, as well as healthcare services at Tuam Primary Care Centre.
- Educational Facilities: The closest primary school appears to be Ballyglunin National School (approx. 3km), with secondary education options in Tuam, such as Presentation College or St. Jarlath's College.
- Hypothesis: The rural location of Rose Cottage, while offering tranquility, presents a challenge for daily commuting and access to a wide range of amenities; its appeal will be strongest for those prioritizing a quieter lifestyle and willing to drive to Tuam for most services and transport connections.
