Bandon beauty half the price of city equivalent, says selling agent

‘TWO for the price of one’ is the pitch of auctioneer, David Busteed for this three-storey house in Bandon’s Canon’s Wood estate.

The Sherry FitzGerald Brennan agent says the house is less than half the price of a similar property in Cork city’s Lindville estate and both have similar designs and layout.

This 2,400 square foot property, is, he thinks, one of the first of only 8 eight detached houses in the scheme to come back on the market, so he expects local and wider interest.

“This house should do well, esxpecially at the price we’ve pitched it, €565,000. People are price conscious now and they’re looking at the total cost of a purchase,” claims Mr Busteed.

Canon’s Wood is an exclusive residential estate, he says, and is just a walk into town, so convenience is also an added attraction.

Plus, there’s plenty of space for trader-uppers and the estate is ideal for young children.

The house is smart and modern and comes with some really nice finishes, including a hand-painted kitchen, simple fireplaces and cornicing in the main reception rooms.

The lounge is a good size at 16’ by 12’ while the kitchen/diner is 20’ by 18’and forms an L to the sunroom which is turn projects in to the garden.

Other rooms on the ground floor include a family room, utility and guest bathroom.

The first floor has a main bathroom off the spacious landing, en suite master bedroom and three other bedrooms, while the second floor is divided into an en suite bedroom, office and store room.

The back garden is secluded and south-west facing, and it comes with a patio area leading to a raised lawn defined by shrub beds.

The front has brick paving with gardens and other planting to the side.

Heating is by gas and the property is close to St Peter’s Church and Bandon’s new shopping centre.
