Prices are up, up and away at Abbotstown Downs

LOOK Up, it’s the Downs. A second large house sale in Abbotswood Downs in a section of Cork’s wooded Rochestown has come along fast on the heels of a neighbouring €900,000-plus sale.

It is the second only re-sale here so far in the four-year old development, and shows that prices have doubled in that short period.

Fresh to the market is no 13 Abbotswood Downs, a five-bed home with American-style brick exterior, attractive detailing and with a massive attic playroom, all on a one-third acre site.

It carrying a ‘modest seeming’ price guide of €835,000-plus guide with Pierce Cuthbert of Property Choice.

This is a sizeable 3,500 sq ft of space in this elevated niche development. The houses are ranged around an open green, with glen-like views and no 13 is particularly private to the rear.

Its living space is over three floors, with additional height ceilings on the lower two levels to match its upmarket aspirations.

Living rooms flow from the Italian tiled hallway, and include an oak-floored lounge with a triple aspect which runs front to back of the home, and views stretch to section of Cork harbour thanks to the height of the house’s setting.

There’s a south-west facing sun-room and an open tiled kitchen/dining area with a high spec and finish. Units are solid maple, and the sale includes Bosch appliances and a must-have cool item, a super-size American fridge.

On first floor level, the master bedroom has both en suite and walk-in wardrobe, the next two bedrooms share an en suite, and there are two more bedrooms at this level.
