The choice is yours

BUILT in the late seventies, to a cutting edge design that’s still unusual today, Carrigcourt is a leafy and settled estate on the rim of Carrigaline in Co Cork.

Sales are few and far between in this estate, but coincidentally, two are on the market there at the moment.

The first is the immaculately presented and considerably enlarged, number 65 Carrigcourt, which hits the hustings at €690,000 through Malcolm Tyrrell of Cohalan Downing.

Offering a substantial, 2,300 square feet of space, the house is a bright, light-filled home with an extra large sunroom/dining room extension onto the west-facing back garden.

The property has a choice of ground floor rooms which run from the east-facing living room, overlooking the front garden, to the large and well-equipped office and a modern, newly-installed kitchen/ diner from Houseworks.

The quality of the finish is superb, and apart from the asking price and stamp duty there is no money to be spent here — it’s just a fine family home.

The upper level has an ensuite master, (the last word in the seventies), and three other bedrooms around a sunny landing and main bathroom.

Grounds are tweaked to within a inch of their life and the side garden includes designated parking for the wheelie bins, a raised vegetable bed, patio dining area with a border of low-maintenance shrubs and lawn. Over the fence is a huge, football pitch-sized green held in trust by the community and maintained in good condition. It’s ideal for children of all ages.

Minutes from Carrigaline and fully detached, this is a house worth a look for those trading up in the area.

Also on the market is no 7 Carrigcourt, an equally top class but smaller property, on the market with Kevin Silke for offers in the region of €550,000.

This house also comes with a good modern kitchen, glossy wooden floors and four bedrooms with three bathrooms. It lacks the large extension, but has a living room, dining room and study.

Again, gardens here are top class and at the asking, it’s also a stress-free buy.
