It’s probably the case that energy efficiency considerations are highest in the minds of househunters when the weather is grim, and the question of how to heat one’s home in winter presents itself most forcibly.

That’s why an immediate eye-catcher on the specs of this property is that it has a B3 energy rating.

It’s a house that is not short of eye-catching features: decorated to a high standard and excellently maintained, this brick-fronted townhouse is in top order and ready for immediate occupation.

Located in the well sought-after Deravarra development, this is ideally located both for access to the M4 motorway and to Mullingar town itself. It is close to Lakepoint Business Park, and practically over the wall from St Loman’s GAA Club.

The accommodation starts with the tiled entrance hallway, off which is found the welcoming living room, which has laminate flooring, a solid fuel stove and a TV point.

The impressive kitchen/dining space is fully fitted with ample storage, tiled flooring and backsplash, a breakfast bar, and sliding patio doors that onto a covered patio area which overlooks the landscaped rear garden, creating an excellent flow for everyday living and entertaining. The back garden is not overlooked. A guest WC completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, the landing with carpet flooring provides access to three well-proportioned bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobes. Two bedrooms are positioned to the front of the property, while the main bedroom enjoys a rear aspect, TV point, and a fully tiled en-suite.

The family bathroom is finished to a high standard with wall and floor tiling and includes a three-piece suite with bath and shower.

This mid terrace house is located in a quiet cul de sac and has ample parking. A great option for a first time buyer.
