Strike now to capitalise on this pre-Christmas offer

Tommy Barker walks around a plush house that’s just had its asking price dramatically reduced.

OVER €100,000 has been knocked of the asking price of Glendubh, a trading up home on the Model Farm Road in Cork's western suburbs, putting it within the reach of a larger number of trader-uppers in 2004.

The vendors themselves took a giant step up the property ladder during 2003, and now are keen to sell this c 1990 house a spot with a deceptive amount of space "and a must-see to really appreciate its qualities", according to its newly appointed selling agent Sheila O'Flynn of Sherry FitzGerald.
