They’re coming down from the hills to take a peek at this fine specimen

THEY are not so much coming down from hills as coming down from Maryborough Hill, to land hopefully at Limetrees Road.

The sheer convenience to Douglas village is what’s drawing in intending buyers from further out in Maryborough and outer Douglas: the grinding traffic down from the hills has worn out many a family.

Turn around the corner from Limetrees road and you’re into Douglas in minutes, either on foot or by car, with its range of services including schools conveniently close.

Up for sale here right number is number 10, a four-bed detached house with about 1,600 sq ft of space, carrying a revised price guide of E410,000 with Paul Reid of Sherry FitzGerald, up from an initial guide of E395,000.

It is his second house here in quick succession on Limetrees road, with number 2 close to a deal at c E380,000.

This house has been extended out to the back with a dining area added on beyond the kitchen (with new maple units) which leaves two other nicely sized (c. 15’ by 11’) reception room in the original part of the house.

Decor in neutral, lots of polished wood floors and cream coloured walls, and three of the bedrooms are good doubles, and the fourth is bigger than most new homes’ box rooms.

Two of the bedrooms have built ins, there isn’t an ensuite, a guest loo or a utility, but as a compromise the garage doubles up as a utility and there’s an outside toilet.

Number 10 has a mature cloak of creepers, a small front garden with a drive for a couple of cars, and a private back garden with mature boundaries.
