Three-bed duplex in gated complex Tommy Barker reports.
Three-bed duplex in gated complex Tommy Barker reports.
THERE’S a handy 850 sq ft or so of south-facing space for home hunters on offer in the three-bed duplex home at 24 Ashton Lodge.
Built in the last decade, the scheme - on the Boreenmanna Road just beyond the rear entrance to Ashton Comprehensive - was always low-profile, finding owners with a minimum of fuss back when the market and construction sectors were trundling along in tandem.
Now offered as a resale. No 24’s carrying a €195,000 guide with agent Dennis Guerin of Frank V Murphy & Co, who says it has been well-maintained, and comes with a designated car parking space in a secure, gated development.
The duplex, up a flight of steps above a ground level apartment, has two bathrooms, three bedrooms and a main living room/kitchen/dining space that is 15’ by 14’ at max measurement. Heating’s via gas.
VERDICT: A simple, straight-forward modern package, easy to keep or manage, within a walk and a mile or so of the city centre.
