Take your pick of fine family homes

TAKE some time out at the Fairways in Midleton or Little Island, Co Cork, where two family homes are on the market.

In Midleton, DNG Russell are handling the sale of 7 The Fairways, Castlerock, which has a guide price of €530,000.

Number 7 is a four-bedroom detached house completed by Castlelands Construction last year to their usual high standard.

The Fairways is a short drive from Midleton town centre, with Cork city just 15 minutes away.

In 2009, the town will also benefit from the new railway line with a regular service to the city.

In Little Island, meanwhile, Noelle Morrisson Properties are selling No 18 The Fairways, which has been reduced in price from €520,000 to €475,000.

This is also a four-bedroom detached home within easy driving or rail commuting distance of Cork city.

The house is in good condition, with a garage ripe for conversion and a large back garden.
