Value for money in location, size, and style

TAKE a quick zip out the N22 and get more bang for your buck. A big, detached house at the 61 The Hermitage, Macroom, offers very good value at the guide price of €370,000.

This four-bed detached compares favourably with three-bed semis within the Cork city limits — and it comes in smashing condition.

Good flooring, a snazzy decor and big, south-facing back garden are just some of it’s attractions and in all, it has 1,600 square feet to offer.

It’s located towards the back of this estate, and is not overlooked at the rear, says Stephen O’Connell of Countrywide Homes.

It’s very good value at the price and condition, he says, and is less than 20 minutes to the centre of Cork city, in good traffic, because of the Ballincollig bypass.

The ground floor has a lounge, living room, kitchen/ dining room, and utility on the ground floor with four bedrooms overhead.

Most of the fixtures and fittings are included in the sale.

A well-maintained development on the Millstreet Road side of Macroom town, amenities are within walking distance and there’s a choice of multiples like Lidl, Supervalu and Dunnes Stores for the weekly shop. The local hotel includes an expanded leisure centre, and the Briary Gap theatre is in Macroom town.
