Guide price reflects desirability of location

JUST your average four bedroomed bungalow - or so you might think at first glance, but Rosario sits on half an acre of gold-plated site at Sandycove, Kinsale.

So, while the average price of a bungalow like this elsewhere would range from €400,000 upwards, the location here has paved the way for a guide price of €850,000.

In response to the high level pricing, Patricia O’Regan of Sheehy Brothers cites the example of a recent neighbouring property salewhich, while it was no great shakes, started at €490,000 and rose to just under €800,000.
