Looking to Buy In Drogheda

leduigs

Hi All,

Hoping people can help me a little. I've a few questions so bare with me.

Firstly is there any particular areas that people would immediately say no too? I've been living in Dublin for 12 years and grew up in Cavan so I'm open to most places however my partner is expecting so I'd prefer somewhere quiet but with a nice family vibe....i.e. I want to avoid estates that are heavily rented as I'd like to become part of a community as such and get involved.

I've rented for a long time myself and know when your renting its never really long term so your not as open to community spirit....i know everyone's different but most are less likely.

So suggestions of places to live....I've marked the likes of Termonabbey, Cedarfield, and Knockbrack downs as potentials as they are all in the price range and looks nice.

Looking for a 3 bed townhouse, semi D or terraced so these seem to be the ones to go for.

Also side question....on broadband and tv etc....Can you Freesat? Who provides Broadband, (UPC?).

I presume there's a gas line too??

Reason I ask these Qs is my home town in Cavan is limited in selection and has no gas line so want to check all this out?

Thanks in advance...

I know there are other posts similar to this but they are old or related to renting and apartments. This is specific to small family homes.

5 minutes from Drogheda, right beside motorway and best of all, beside oldbridge. Would happily buy there myself. I grew up in the area before moving to Drogheda.

May not be in the countryside for too much longer. There are plans to build 7000 houses in that area with planning permission for the first phase of 2500 already granted and the land purchased (by the council).

Possibly 20%_30% social housing?

That's not in Tullyallen. The proposed area is between the North Rd and the Ballymckenny Rd.

Louth Co Co didn't get funding for the development of the road from the government, so nothing will happen yet.

Apologies! I'm always mixing Termon Abbey and Tullyallen up!

Yep, the funding was rejected. I think Drogheda was the only major town to not get funding which I presume it a precursor to an extra large payment next time round??

Anyone own a listed building in Drogheda? I'm currently looking at making an offer on a listed building in Drogheda town centre, William Street to be exact. The area seems very nice, lots of great cafes and shops around, and the one way traffic system means the road its on isn't all that busy. Just not sure about how the council are with regards to listed buildings? It seems the town is quite old and a lot of the old architecture is preserved, which I love about Drogheda, but how much of a pain is it to work around?

If it is the Victorian terraced one it's a stunning house. I drove by it today. Good luck with your plans.

That's the one. Bit of a dodgy extension at the rear, but nothing that's not fixable. Ended up in a bidding war and bailed out after a couple of rounds. It'll be a stunning home for who ever gets sale agreed.

Anyone know of new developments planned for the southside of Drogheda?

kjbsrah1

It’s beside the Boyne Valley Hotel. Lovely estate. Any houses that come up for sale generally get snapped up very fast. I live there for the last 6 years and am very happy. Great neighbors and lovely houses. Nice and private with only 47 houses in the estate,all detached.

No but there is one planned for Gormanston.

Knightswood is still being built up at the moment, if that's any use to you.

Anyone know if there is a new phase of Avourwen due to be built? and if so when? thanks

Try Ballymakenny or Monasterboice - Theyre rural but 5 - 7 minute drive to Drogheda town very, close to MI, close to sea side villages like Clogherhead and Termonfeckin, theres local schools, shops and church in the area too, nice little community vibe.

What shops are in Monasterboice? Isn't it pretty much Donegal's and the GAA club?

There are rural shops near Ballymakenny, Harestown shop just up the road in monasterboice and Sandpit a two minute drive away.

New development planned for south Drogheda.

Sheeps

McNamara, beware.

q85dw7osi4lebg

Good location all things considered. Close to Dublin road / M1 and train station. Walk into town. Bit of a rich apartment : house ratio though given the thousands of acres of farmland around there.

positron

Where is this proposed development, is this the field opposite St Mary's school gate roundabout, or somewhere else completely?

TG860

It took a bit of digging, but here is the website with all of the proposed development documents. https://www.bryanstownshd.ie/

To answer your question, it's going to be on the Beamore Road just past Millmount Abbey and Lagavooren.
First thoughts are they would need to upgrade the roads around there significantly as it's already rather traffic choked in the mornings and evenings with the schools as it is. I don't think that existing stretch of the Beamore Road would be up to scratch as an access road for a major estate either.

[Deleted User]

Yeah I'd not be happy to see more traffic on the beamore rd. There are 2 houses on the left as you head down the hill that will end up all but surrounded from the looks of it. Can't imagine they'd be happy.

Hoboo

Only way that will go ahead is if a particular auctioneer gets the deal to sell them, as happened in Grange Rath. How they can sit on the council that decides PP and be the selling agent is a joke.

q85dw7osi4lebg

Can see locals objecting as with anywhere else, but can't think of many better locations for new development in terms of accessibility. Granted the local infrastructure will need to be upgraded. Apartments not too fitting with the local however.

There was a notice of some sort put up on that bend a few weeks ago, possibly planning permission. Must have a read of it next time I'm in the area.

[Deleted User]

It's odd that they're turning that site into housing, yet Avourwen still hasn't been finished for some reason.

Drogheda's getting a bit cluttered in my opinion. Lots of talk of new places being built, but for some reason some of these places just don't sit well with me. I don't like that area chosen for the development for some reason. Same with the planned estate down on the marsh road. I can't put my finger on what it is, but something just seems a bit 'off' with the plans for the estates around the town at the moment.

The proposed site above, in Beamore, could do with some commercial aspects (any planned?). A chipper, centra, hairdresser etc?

[Deleted User]

Where was the one on the Marsh rd going to go? Between Weirhope and the Grammar School maybe?

[Deleted User]

Open to correction, but I think it would have been across the road form Weirhope (somewhere between Ship St and the Boyne Fishermen).

[Deleted User]

Oh right ok, makes sense. There is a lot of stuff on that side that is derelict or has already been torn down and lying idle. What became of the Marsh House there actually, or is that still idle?
