Family fortunate to find this home

THE pictures and brochure suggest it, and the house itself proves it: 50 Chestnut Meadows is a family home par excellence.

The recently-built, detached four-bed home went up for sale just in the pre-Christmas gloom and Budget uncertainties.

Now, with the days getting long and the market re-awakening, viewings will draw bids around the €625,000-plus asking price. Whether it breaches the €635,000 9% stamp duty rate remains to be seen.
