Location ensures price rise

A BANKER — these Elm Park houses will always appreciate, says selling agent, Peter Skuse, because of their Wilton, Cork location.

Despite the proliferation of new student apartment blocks in the western suburbs, the proximity of the expanding Cork University Hospital means there will always be takers for accommodation here, he adds.

Priced at €245,000 this three-bed townhouse is also ideal for first-time buyers and it has excellent access to all areas of the city.

Accommodation includes a living room, kitchen dining room, three bedrooms and a bathroom.

Number 122 Wilton Road has a small garden at the back and gas heating.

six bedrooms A SIX-bedroomed house for €210,000 is on offer in Tarbert, Co Kerry, through Colm O’Donovan of Sherry FitzGerald Ruddle.

This house is at the end of Doonard Crescent and has lovely private gardens.

Number 30 also has an attic conversion which gives two more rooms under the roof and there’s a range of living rooms on the ground floor.

It also has some nice touches like cornicing and cast iron fireplaces.

On the Ballylongford/Ballybunion road, this is an ideal house for a family trading up, says Mr O’Donovan.

Sea view Houses in Rosscarbery have gone through the roof this year, with unprecedented prices paid for small to medium houses.

Just outside the village, closer to Mill Cover, John Loughnan of Sherry FitzGerald O’Neill is selling a semi-detached, four bedroomed cottage at Downeen for offers in the region of €250,000.

An ideal holiday home because of its location between Glandore and Ross, it’s already under offer at the asking price.

The sweetener here is that it also comes with a half acre garden, with road frontage, and this could be developed, subject to planning.

What’s more, the house also has those precious sea views, an added bonus with West Cork properties.
