There’s only a €5,000 difference between these Douglas area, Cork, properties, Tommy Barker reports
Very similar style and era three-bed semis are on offer in Cork’s greater Douglas area via agent Jeremy Murphy, with just €5,000 difference in their asking prices.
Smartly presented for its sale is 35 Ardfield Meadows in Grange, built by Flemings and so likely to have a good BER level, and it’s a walk-in job inside, with a good back garden with lots of paving, and the bonus of a southerly rear aspect.
Inside, there’s a front reception room, and then the entire full width of the back of the house is an open plan kitchen/living/dining room.
There’s also a utility room, guest WC, and overhead one of its three bedrooms is en suite, and there’s a main bathroom too, with bath and shower combined. In addition, there’s a pull-down stairs for attic access.
Meanwhile, in the same vicinity, Mr Murphy is selling 38 West Avenue, ParkGate, in this O’Flynn Construction-built scheme. Similarly sized, at about 1,025 sq ft, this is a three-bed semi, with a south-facing back garden, but has its rear section dividing into recently upgraded kitchen/dining room, and rear reception. Front and rear gardens are walled in, and is in good order inside and out.
VERDICT: Similar spec, and different developments, both near a range of good services and facilities.
