Trish Dromey is impressed with an apartment finished to a high standard by its owner, an interior decorator.

An east Cork 1800s cottage has had a thoroughly modern and spacious makeover, writes Tommy Barker

The front facade of this very well kept and decorated bungalow gives little away of its many charms once over the threshold, but the variety of interior pics on its selling agent’s brochure and online is already weaving a bit of a spell among home-hunters.

Spruced up with a fresh coat of sunshine yellow paint, this four-bed end of terrace house in the seaside village of Ballycotton offers spacious accommodation and scenic bay and lighthouse views.

Subtle exterior touches outside this modern build in Ballincurrig, East Cork, indicate an attention to detail: and, they don’t mislead, there’s a lot going on inside also.

The house-proud owners of this three-bed semi at 4 Castle Avenue in Carrigtwohill have done up their 1970s-built home to showhouse standard.

SOME people buy standard homes, others build individual ones but some — like the owners of 21 Woodview Lawn in Saleen near Midleton — transform standard homes into highly individual ones.

Built in 2005, this 1,000 sq ft home is owner-occupied, stylish, and in excellent condition, reports Trish Dromey.

With 950 sq ft of living space and a guide of €135,000, No 23 Elm Grove, Gort an Oir in Castlemartyr could prove attractive as a starter home.

Trish Dromey takes a look at one of the most affordable four-bed semis on the market in Midleton, a 10-min walk from the train station.

Tommy Barker tells of a prime home location.

An opportunity to live on the waterfront in a spacious and stylish four-bed townhouse is now on offer at 8 The Granary, Bailick Rd, Midleton.

Described as an attractive and bright detached family home by Adrianna Hegarty of Hegarty Properties, this country house at Bawnard doesn’t disappoint and has huge amounts of space to offer a growing family. 

Cork harbour homes are attracting a lot of attention from UK buyers with a powerful pound, says Tommy Barker.

Bathrooms: 2

Size: 136 sq m (1,450 sq ft)

Sq m: 126 (1,350 sq ft)

Tommy Barker uncovers a simple house, on a half acre open site, with sea views.

WITH 1,350 sq ft of space and a modern specification and good finishes, the detached Midleton family home at No 27, Rosehill West also has planning for a sizeable extension — up to an extra 800 sq ft.

NOW that any realistic hopes of development sites have been removed from the sale prospects of Midleton’s Castleredmond House, this east Cork quality detached home has had a price slash to bring more viewings — and facilitate its owners, who are now living overseas.

WHEN we were rich and sophisticated (or at least thought we were) Irish house decor went all pale and creamy neutral, minimalist and, dare to say it, a bit bland and boring.

DESCRIBED by the selling agents as a bit of a higgledy-piggledy Fr Ted house, Island View House in Ballycotton is a property in need of a bit of salvation.

DESPERATELY seeking someone — the owners of this detached house in Castlemartyr had a disappointing sale collapse and are reducing their property to €335,000.

THE name might give an idea of the style of this Dungourney, Co Cork house.

THIS Midleton, Co Cork farm should be one of the big sales of the autumn.

SNUG inside its shelter belt of trees, this property, at Baneshane, Midleton, Co Cork, is now back on the market.

SMART, nearly new and with a reduced asking price, no 20 Cypress Circus, Midleton offers good value to stamp-duty free, first timers.
