Beat galloping prices with this good value yearling

DESPITE galloping house price inflation, the market can still throw up some good value buys.

Just this week, a very large house on Cork’s Model Farm Road, with 4,500 square feet of space is on offer at €650,000 through Sheila O’Flynn of Sherry FitzGerald.

Baile Uí Thaidgh is just a year old and is a two-storey over basement property, with 1,500 square feet on each floor.

Close to Nangles Garden Centre on the Model Farm Road and the new Hayfield development, this house represents good value at the asking price, says Ms O’Flynn.

The double-fronted dormer has high-spec touches, with a double door entrance, quality stained glass inserts and suspended concrete floors on all levels.

Wooden floors are used throughout the ground floor except for the kitchen which is slate tiled. Here, there’s an integrated sunroom which makes for a bright and light room; units are in pine with a granite worktop and include an island unit.

Unusually, the house has a basement which is bright and spacious and comes with two double bedrooms, one of which is en-suite and a playroom, den or gym which runs the length of the house.

On the first floor there are two reception rooms, a dining room and family room and kitchen, the last three of which interconnect.

The top floor has a gallery landing with five bedrooms ranged around, including a master suite and two other en-suite bedrooms as well as a main bathroom.

On a private walled site, with a stone wall boundary to the road, Baile Uí Thaidgh has parking to the front and side and a rear garden with a block-built shed.

In superb condition, close to schools and shopping, it’s ready to move into, says Sheila O’Flynn.
