Hey everyone, I have leftover tiles, floors, grout, adhesive and tanking kit I'm looking to get rid off ASAP. Not a massive amount of anything but enough if you need a small bit of a top up

We were able to get the space changed from microwave + oven to a double oven but we raised this at the very start so probably why they were willing to accommodate this! We also asked for the fireplace gap to be filled in and they did that for us too :)

Hi , We were able to ask for some changes in the 3 bed house , we added the rain shower to our en-suite (like the 4bed has) for 50e extra . We had a niche added to both the main bathroom and the en-suite shower for 75e for each one .

We also asked & added a extra hole cut out for the sitting room tv so the Tv sits flush to the wall.

Hello all! First time ever posting but have so many questions as I bought my first house in Castlefarm and don't know anything 😄 love all the tips re changes to the three beds, can I ask when during the process you get to ask for these changes? Also if anyone has a list if changes they made that would be unreal! Tnks!

Hey, Hope You're well and welcome!

Re' changes - some changes will be reviewed/approved, but not too big of changes. Whatever You have in mind - You should discuss them asap with the buider; Some of the houses in the 3rd phase already have the plasterboard installed as the kitchens, so things You have in mind may already not be possible to accomodate;

Things we asked for: some changes to sockets layout throughout the house; alcoves in the bathroom and shower room; extra tiles in the same (builder will not install the extra tiles, but will leave the walls plain, so You can fit whatever You have in mind after getting the keys); we fitted our own wardrobes, so BeSpace did not install them in the bedrooms upstairs, builder left the walls plain for us;

Some of the works will be extra payments from You (i.e extra electric points, alcoves, etc) and some will be reimbursed to You (i.e if You opted for Your own furniture; what is included as standard, if builder does not install it - it will be paid back to You);

Good luck...

Hi there, does anyone happen to have floor measurements for the 3 bed? Looking to order furniture and want to be sure on size. TIA

Hey, sorry ... do not have it for the 4X bed houses, but You should be fine asking the EA or builder to have an hour in the show house to take the measurements You need. Good luck ....

Hi everyone, does anyone have recommendations for a person to snag? Does it have to be a professional snag company or can a builder do it? Thanks!

Hi Everyone,

First time posting on here but all of the comments, my sister and I have found them super helpful and we are so excited to finally move in hopefully around xmas.

3 Questions if anyone has time.

Homie125 Could you possibly send me on the measurements of the 3 beds please also. We are hoping to call in soon and measure up for furniture etc.
We are in two minds whether to put an island in the 3 bed mid terrace kitchen or not - if anyone is already in phase 1 and/or 2 what would you recommend? With or without?
Also I think I saw someone say that they got sky installed? so is it available or is it just VM?

Thanks a mill everyone.

Hey we used Mick from snagmyhouse.ie. He has done a few houses in the estate so he is really knowledgeable!

RodBella · 31-10-2021 1:58pm

Hi, I'm due to move into Castle farm this week. I have purchased a 3 bed mid terrace. I was wondering if anyone has already converted the attic and if so could they forward some pictures onto me.

Also has anyone put an island into kitchen. Would love to see a picture of this also. Its hard to visualise.

Many thanks everyone and hears to many happy years living there

Mags86 · 01-11-2021 3:02pm

Hey everyone does anyone have a number for a Tiler that they used? Already contacted the tiler that done the bathrooms for the builders and he seems a little expensive anyone any recommendations?

and if anyone used the tiler on-site would you recommend him?

citygirl27 · 17-11-2021 10:49pm

Hi everyone, love this thread. I have bought a 4 bed in phase 3.

Can anyone confirm if the extractor fan in the kitchen is included? Or do you have to purchase?

If anyone has floor measurements for upstairs and downstairs, would greatly appreciate if you could share with me.

Thanks

nics87 · 18-11-2021 3:11pm

@citygirl27 Hi ,yes the extractor fan is included!

We have a 3 bed but were able to get the measurements from Eddie The Forman on-site ,he’s usually there mon-fri.

Hi, I have just moved into Castlefarm and I can't find my kitten. I don't know if he got out or has just found an extremely brilliant hiding spot. If anyone sees a small extremely fluffy ginger kitten can you please let me know.

Evening all,

Great to have this forum! Very useful info.

I have secured one of the 2 beds and hope to move in in the New Year.

I know there are not many of the two beds being built, think only two are occupied now. If any of the current occupants of the 2 two beds are on this forum and could share the room measurements for floorings that would be appreciated.

Hi all,

My partner and I are moving into one of the 3 bed (end of terrace) units in March. I took measurements 2/3 months ago for furniture and flooring but I forgot to measure for the fridge/freezer. Does anyone in a current 3-bed end of terrace have measurements for the fridge/freezer?

Thanks,

Hi all, can anyone recommend a good tiler? Moving into phase 3 in the next few months. Thank you

citygirl27 · 04-04-2022 7:28pm

Hi,

Can anybody help please. We are trying to buy our Virgin media broadband bundle but the Eircode and address doesn't populate on Virgin's website. Did anyone else have this issue? Thanks

Pete123456 · 05-04-2022 9:05pm

Did you try typing in your address? If it doesn’t show you can ring virgin and they’ll add it and it should show up in a few days

Kiommayarb · 01-09-2022 11:15am

Hi,

First time posting here since moving into Castlefarm! Just wondering if there is an estate WhatsApp group? Always handy for info and updates! Thanks

richieboy · 29-06-2023 3:29pm

Hey just seen this and wanted to know who is the main broadband provider in the estate. Closing on one of the new apartments but not sure what broadband is available to get. Thanks ☺️
