Energy-efficient family homes in a well-connected Drogheda on sale from €445,000
Suburban living close to everything a growing family needs.
FOR HOUSE HUNTERS hoping to combine the ease of a new build with plenty of space for family life, Listoke Wood on Drogheda’s Ballymakenny Road is a great option. A new phase of generously sized three and four-bed homes has now been released, bringing contemporary, A-rated living to a convenient corner of the Louth town. Designed with modern life in mind, the homes pair practical layouts with the sort of energy-conscious spec that has become of major importance for buyers today. Each carries an A2 BER and is built with air-to-water heating, high levels of insulation and underfloor heating across the ground floor. Dual-zone temperature controls allow different areas of the house to be managed independently, while a mechanical ventilation system helps maintain comfortable air quality throughout.
Inside, the finish is crisp, clean and modern. Kitchens come fitted with appliances, while four-bed homes also include an American-style fridge freezer and island. Separate utility rooms add valuable everyday practicality, with washing machines included, while bathrooms and en-suite bathrooms feature quality sanitary ware and tiling to wet areas. There are thoughtful details elsewhere too, from solid timber internal doors and USB sockets in kitchens and bedrooms to partially floored attics with lighting and pull-down ladders. Buyers going for a three-bed house will also have the benefit of provision for an attic conversion, for even more flexibility as family needs evolve.
Outside, the development has been designed to create an attractive, established feel, with cobblelock driveways, seeded lawns, granite window sills, metal railings and laurel hedging. Back gardens are enclosed by a combination of timber fencing and solid blockwork walls. Infrastructure for electric car charging and photovoltaic panels has also been incorporated, allowing homeowners to upgrade further in the future.
The location is likely to be one of Listoke Wood’s strongest draws, particularly for families with school-going children. St Oliver’s National School, Presentation Primary School and Ballymakenny College are all within around a five-minute walk, potentially making the morning school run much simpler.
Sporting amenities are plentiful too, with Boyne RFC, O’Raghallaighs GFC, Drogheda United FC and the running and athletics facilities at Lourdes Stadium all nearby. Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital is also within walking distance, while Drogheda town centre provides a broad mix of shops, restaurants, cafés and everyday services.
With its combination of substantial homes, A2 energy ratings, family-friendly surroundings and strong transport connections, Listoke Wood offers a modern take on suburban living, one where schools, sport and the town are all close at hand from the comforts and efficiencies of a brand new home.
