Strong bidding expected for spacious home
By comparison, this new and neighbouring market arrival might seem a bit of a snip at €875,000, though, of course, it isn’t on a private acre with Douglas estuary and Mahon Golf Course frontage and views.
Malcolm Tyrrell of Cohalan Downing has the sale of the 1991-built 2,800 sq ft home at the top of the Well Road, where the suburbs of Douglas, Ballinlough and Ballintemple mingle - the roundabout at the brow of the hill linking Well Road and Skehard Road is the setting.
One of three similar homes by builder Eugene O’Connor, it is the first to come up for resale and, given its scope to comfortably accommodate a large family, it will undoubtedly come under strong bidding.
One of the novelties is the effect of the original planning conditions, which stipulated that the back of the house must mirror the front, because at the time the back was exposed to the public roadway. The view shown here is actually the rear of the house, but hedging and tree growth has given screening cover to all concerned.
It is in very good overall condition, on a site of about one-fifth of an acre and is private, with south and west-facing gardens to the rear.
It has extension potential - which the next-door neighbours have capitalised on with their home, building above the single-storey kitchen on the side.
Accommodation includes a full-depth hall, a 24’ by 13’ lounge with patio access, a living room, separate dining room, kitchen with oak ORM units and integrated appliances, utility room, guest WC with shower, and five first floor bedrooms, with one en suite, and a main family bathroom.
The house has gas central heating, PVC double glazing, and the floored attic has pull-down stair access so it can be used for storage, while several of the bedrooms have extensive built-in wardrobes.
