4 The Rise, Dalkey from the outside — condition & kerb appeal

Street viewFrom above
Exterior read
This property is an extended 1.5-storey / dormer-style residential dwelling situated on 'The Rise'. It features a modern white-rendered facade, updated fenestration, and secure gated driveway parking. From an aerial perspective, the home benefits from substantial ground-floor rear extensions and rooflights, though it immediately abuts an expansive construction zone at the rear.
Extensive roof glazing and skylights suggesting bright, naturally illuminated upper/extended living areas.
Extended rear footprint that significantly maximizes internal usable square footage.
▼ Watch for
Directly borders an active construction/earthmoving development site to the rear, causing noise, dust, and uncertain future overlooking.
Visible overhead utility cabling running across the front elevation of the property.
Relatively compact rear outdoor green space due to the ground floor extensions.
Tight boundary setbacks with neighboring dwellings, limiting side access and lateral privacy.
Dense mature shrubs and vegetation in close proximity to the front boundary wall requiring ongoing maintenance.

Our estimated real value

Likely range €1,480,000 – €1,808,000
Built from recent sold prices on the Property Price Register (last 12 months, index-adjusted to today) and comparable homes currently for sale, compared on a € per m² basis for this home's 245 m². An estimate, not a formal valuation.
Asking price vs comparable homes Fair confidence
Priced higherAbout rightPriced lower
The asking price sits above our fair-value estimate.
Based on comparable homes on the market now — beds, size, BER, type and area. Our estimate for a home like this is around €1,644,000 (€1,480,000–€1,808,000). Estimates at this confidence land within 20% of the sale price about 45% 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.

Open around€1,436,000
Fair value€1,480,000–€1,808,000
Turn-key condition — the listing reads as move-in ready, so we've trimmed the low end of the fair-value range (we don't lift the price on an agent's wording).
Based on wording in the agent's description.
Price per m²€6,102/m² here vs €5,222/m² typical across 22 comparable homes for sale in the wider area
Fair value blends our price model with the price per m² of 22 comparable homes for sale; the asking is 9% below its midpoint. Homes in Ireland often sell over asking in strong areas, so the top of the range is fair value, not a ceiling. A guide for your negotiation, not a valuation — the right bid also depends on how much you want it and what you can borrow.
