Townhouse for €230,000

PART of a development of apartments and townhouses across from Collin’s Barracks, on Military Hill, number 25, Bellevue Court, is a gem.

This is not only because it is ten minutes from town, nor because of its funky decor, but because it is good value at €230,000.

Number 25 has 1,000 square feet of space, but, more importantly, it has a garden area. “Enough for car parking, but that would be a waste,” says Derrick Gerety, of Andrew Moore and Co, who emphasises the south-facing, private backyard.

This is surrounded by 10’ high walls (painted white). There is also space at the side of the house.

“You could put a sun-room at the back, Mr Gerety says, “and still have a patio area at the side for those alfresco summer meals”.

Because the house has large windows, the rooms are bright. The main living room has a bay window and two doors: one from the hallway and another into the large, kitchen- dining room. This kitchen has a marmolium floor, is furnished with white fitted units, and has a door to the back yard.

Upstairs there are two double bedrooms, and a smaller room which is used as a study. The main bathroom, with has some nice decorative touches, is also located upstairs.

Parking is provided in the development and there is a large green area, which is maintained by a management company. A laundry room and central waste disposal area are also provided.
