Steel-framed house in Ardfield

A large back garden is a selling point of 30, Ardfield Crescent, a Fleming Construction scheme in the Cork suburb of Grange, on the edge of Douglas.

Ardfield was one of their first significant developments of steel-framed houses (the company are transporting almost-built apartments to Dublin from their expanding factory in Ringskiddy), and residents testify to the cosiness, with high insulation values.

A recent market arrival as a result of trading up by its owners, number 30 has an asking price of €380,000 with estate agent, Conor Smith, of ERA Downey McCarthy Murphy.
