It’s in ‘Amgen land’ and ideal for trading up

CLOSE to the finish line is this attractive new house at Kilcounty, Killeagh in Co Cork.

The selling agent is Kevin O’Connell of Dan O’Connell and Co. He says it’s perfect for buyers trading up from nearby Midleton and Cloyne. The house hits the market this month at €420,000, and even that might be a conservative estimate because it’s also likely to attract Cork city buyers.

It’s within commuting distance, and who wouldn’t want to live near some of the best beaches in the country? And at the risk of really stating the obvious there’s also the Amgen factor, and while the 1,000-plus job employer isn’t due for some time, houses in the area are being flagged for sale on the back of the genetic company’s arrival.
