Trade up to a hilltop high

AN 'owners relocating' tag on a property is usually a sure-fire guarantee of a determination to sell.

At Caymanas, Glounthaune, the vendors have taken that one step further - they've already moved out, leaving this large, generous property as a blank canvas for prospective buyers.

On an elevated site on Windsor Hill and close to the Cois Chuain scheme, one of more desirable of the city's new housing developments, the property has lots to offer those trading up.

Firstly, it runs to 2,500 square feet, has a mature site of a third of an acre and comes with five bedrooms, of which the master is en-suite.

Reception rooms include a lounge, dining room, family room and kitchen, as well as utility and guest bathroom.

Built about 30 years ago, according to selling agent Peter Cave of Hamilton Osborne King, the property is in good condition and is on the market for offers in the region of €400,000.

Extras includes a large, double garage and store room.
