In the neighbourhood of €350,000 apiece

TWO large modern houses in The Meadows estate, outside Ballincollig, Cork, offer good value in terms of square footage for buyers trading-up.

The first, number 18, The Meadows, measures 2,500 square feet and is on offer at €380,000.

Set on a large, landscaped site, the house has a lounge, a sitting room, a spacious, well-fitted kitchen, a family room, and utility and guest WCs on the ground floor.

The upper floor has five double rooms, and the master bedroom is en-suite.

The second house, number 50, measures 1,550 square feet and has a living room, a dining room, a kitchen, a utility area, a family room, a small study, and a guest WC.

Upstairs, there are four bedrooms, the master bedroom, which is en-suite, and the main bathroom.

The long back garden is west-facing and has plenty of room for children to play in: a Barna shed is included, as it is in number 18. No 50, a detached house, is selling for €310,000 and Norma Healy, of Sherry FitzGerald, is handling both sales.
