Earls Well that ends well

BUYERS, be brave – you’ll be the real winners at Waterfall’s Earls Well development – getting the best new homes, bar none, built in Cork (if not all of Munster) in decades. And, you’re being offered them for a bargain, value for money price.

Assertive statements, to be sure, especially when prices here for these smart, contemporary-designed country houses do indeed start at just over the €1 million level – at what is clearly the worst time ever for the country’s house builders and property market.

But, it’s true, there’s value, and quality of build here the likes of which you won’t have seen in a decade of the property boom. Had these houses been launched a few years ago, prices could well have been up to and over the €2m mark.
