Choice of two homes in established city suburb

TWO ‘old Douglas’ houses are up for sale with ERA Downey McCarthy Murphy and both offer trader-uppers the chance to move in from the outer suburbs.

The first house is at 15 Trabeg Lawn, which comes on the market at a guide of €450,000 through Jeremy Murphy.

This good, square semi has a sunroom/porch extension to the side and is in very good condition, says the agent.

The house comes with a sunny yellow kitchen, has two reception rooms with polished floors and also has a utility room and guest loo.

There are four bedrooms overhead, with a main bathroom. There’s also a garage, boiler house and shed.

As you’d expect, the gardens are good and mature, and there’s parking for two to three cars.

Micheal Downey of the same firm is selling Padua, which is closer to town on the Cross Douglas Road, and this extended property also carries a €450,000 price tag.

The three to four bedroomed house comes with a conservatory at the back and has three bedrooms on the upper floor, one of which is en suite.

The ground floor has a sitting room, kitchen and back kitchen, as well as a utility, guest WC and attached garage, which could offer conversion potential.

The house is just a walk to town and, again, has lovely gardens.
