South-facing sun trap in the country

IT'S like living in the country, says auctioneer Liz English of this property at 27, Whitepoint Avenue in Cobh, Co Cork.

This modern variation on an Edwardian theme has 3,300 square feet of space and a sun trap of a garden, continues Ms English. It's in top class condition, has four bedrooms and carries a guide price of €750,000 and there's an offer of €700,000 made already, she says.

On an extra large site, with a south-facing aspect and lots of privacy, this property is worry-free and ready to go.

It also comes with generous room sizes. The sitting room measures 22' by 13' and connects through double doors to a dining room. Then there's a fitted kitchen, conservatory, utility and guest bathroom.

On the first floor there are four ensuite bedrooms and the master has a dressing room included. The second floor has two large, multi-purpose rooms and a main bathroom between. A detached garage is also included in the sale.

As this is a new house, stamp duty applies only on the site value, says the agent. It comes fully tiled, with fitted kitchen and appliances, and the gardens are fully landscaped.
