Tempting family offering

NOW that spring is here and auctioneers are laying out full stalls once more, the nation’s fancy turns to property.

And for those with a growing family, there’s that trading up decision to be made.

With projected increases of 6% forecast for the property market this year, it’s a toss up between the extension, or the move.

Here at Ard Dara Crescent, a nicely maturing estate just off the village of Blarney at Station road, ERA Downey McCarthy Murphy are offering a detached, four-bed for offers around €360,000.

Good views, plenty of room and a location close to all the amenities of Blarney Village make this a good choice, says selling agent, Sean McCarthy.

The house is also low-maintenance but has a fine, back garden that’s fully enclosed and safe for children.

Number 2, Ard Dara Crescent has a sitting room, TV room and large kitchen/dining room on the ground floor with a utility and guest loo. There’s also a handy, walk-in storage room off the TV room.

The upper floor has four bedrooms, with one ensuite and a main bathroom.

A large green area is to the front and the house has a cul-de-sac location.
