They also enhanced the attic and wall insulation, switched to composite external doors, upgraded windows, and installed 13 solar panels along with a 10kW battery.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/5192917_6_articleinline_123_20-_202_20Maglin_20Crescent.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" class=\"card-img\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/5192920_6_articleinline_119_20-_202_20Maglin_20Crescent_1_.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" class=\"card-img\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/5192923_6_articleinline_168_20-_202_20Maglin_20Crescent_1_.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" class=\"card-img\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"contextmenu Body Body\">At 132 sq m there\u2019s a decent amount of living space with a kitchen\/dining with separate utility room across the back of the house which sits in a cul-de-sac. This room has a sunroom at one end so there\u2019s great light here. The front room has double clear glass doors onto the hallway so that\u2019s also bright.<\/p>\n<p class=\"contextmenu Body Body\">And there\u2019s a ground floor bedroom which could be swapped over to a playroom or home office by new owners.
