Go west for first of the resales

THE first of the re-sales to come up in Oldcourt, Greenfields, Ballincollig is listed with Norma Healy of Sherry FitzGerald. This four-bed detached home is a on a large, west-facing site.

Newly constructed, the Oldcourt estate is close to Ballincollig and the western suburbs of Cork city.

Accommodation here runs to 1,300 square feet.

The main reception rooms includes a lounge, a family room, with double doors to the rear garden and a kitchen/dining room with a bank of fitted units.

All three of the four bedrooms are good doubles and the master is ensuite and comes with fitted wardrobes.

The guide price is a figure in excess of €310,000.

IN a bit of state of suspended animation, this four-bed, two ensuite property at Ballybrommell, Ballintrim, Co Carlow will need some finishing touches, but then, it will probably be worth it in the end, says Marcus McCormack of ERA McCormack.

The property is on the market for offers in the region of €320,000 and when fully completed, including undeveloped attic, the floor area will be in the region of 3,892 square feet.

At the moment, there are three reception rooms on the ground floor, with two fully finished. The kitchen dining room is a large, bright space, but no units have been fitted, likewise with the utility.

All four bedrooms have timber floors and the master has a walk-in wardrobe. Carlow town is a short drive away and Dublin is 55 miles, which could make this property suitable for commuters.
