Street viewFrom above
Exterior read
The property is a modern two-storey family residence located at the head of a cul-de-sac in a quiet residential development (Marlton Demesne). It features a ground-floor side extension, off-street driveway, and a sizeable enclosed rear garden with established tree screening.
▲ What stands out
Situated at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, offering minimal through-traffic and enhanced privacy.
Features dedicated off-street driveway parking capable of accommodating multiple vehicles.
Includes an existing single-storey side extension providing additional ground-floor living area.
Substantial rear garden plot benefiting from natural privacy provided by mature surrounding trees.
Modern construction profile featuring low-maintenance tiled pitched roofing and uPVC double-glazed windows.
▼ Watch for
Proximity of large mature trees near boundaries may present root ingress risks and shaded garden areas.
Roof junction flashings between the main structure and side extension require careful monitoring for leaks.
Cul-de-sac head positioning limits direct front street frontage and guest street parking options.
Driveway and exterior hardstanding show surface weathering that may require future resealing or repaving.
Exterior render finish requires periodic inspection to ensure no hidden hairline cracking or moisture retention.

Asking price vs comparable homes Low confidence
Priced higherAbout rightPriced lower
Indicative range only — €519,000–€635,000.
We don't have enough comparable sales on this street or nearby to value this home independently, so this range is a wide sanity-check centred on the €600,000 asking price — not confirmed against the market. Estimates at this confidence land within 20% of the sale price about 34% of the time.
This compares the asking price only. It cannot see condition, interior, garden or aspect — a home priced low may need work. Use it to shortlist, not to decide. Our price model is typically within ~18%, so treat the range, not the midpoint, as the signal. Comparable data here is limited, so this is indicative.
