Strong viewing and bidding interest good omen for suburban semi

CONSIDERABLE viewing activity and solid bidding has seen Roisin Dubh, a four-bed semi off the Model Farm Road, bid to a sum in excess of €450,000.

Located in a quiet cul de sac by Highfield Rugby Club, the house is a little out of the way for passing traffic.

However, word spread enough for a queue of viewers in the past two weeks, he says.

The house is south-facing, with a fine, rectangular back garden and ticks a lot of boxes for trader-uppers. Its major plus is proximity to CUH, (the back gate is just up the road), and then it has the required four bedrooms for buyers at this level.

In need of modernisation, it nonetheless has plenty of space on offer, with two formal reception rooms, a kitchen/ breakfast room, lean-to conservatory, four bedrooms, a main bathroom and guest bathroom.

And it’s not overlooked at the rear, with plenty of parking to the front.

The local girl’s primary and secondary schools are minutes away and Wilton Shopping centre is also within strolling distance, making this house one of the better located offerings in the western suburbs.
