Back on the market with a lower price

WHAT with a recent price drop, and summer beckoning, interest is expected to harden in Inisor, a fine detached home in East Cork’s Ballycotton.

Overlooking the harbour, and on neat grounds landscaped beyond the call of neighbourly duty, it is priced at €455,000 by Sherry FitzGerald O’Donovan in Midleton, down from a marginally higher sum sought in autumn.

The well-fitted house has accommodation on three levels, and views from each, with a balcony for good measure off bedroom three or optional office, which has a fireplace for good measure.

Built about 17 years ago, Inisor has 2,200 sq ft of space with four to five bedrooms, and the master bedroom is up at roof level, with views to the island and lighthouse from the roof lights: this room’s facilities include a dressing room and ensuite with Jacuzzi.

The middle level has two bathrooms, both with corner baths, and the bedrooms have fitted units, all further evidence of the high standard of overall finish and fit-out, say the selling agents.

Living space includes lounge with marble fireplace and a dining room, each with teak floors, and a kitchen with oak units and a Stanley stove. The grounds include sheds, patios and landscaping.
