Escape to a fine family home

PERFECT for a family who want to leave the suburbs behind, but still have all the facilities on their doorstep. That’s auctioneer David Hogan’s assessment of this fine, family house at Gearagh Cross in Midleton.

On the Ballincurra road, outside the east Cork town, the property is on offer through his firm, Oakridge Auctioneers at €375,000, which Mr Hogan considers reasonable for the size and location of the property.

Running to 2,000 square feet and on a site of a third of an acre, this 20-year-old two-storey has plenty of living rooms and four bedrooms.
