‘A’ marks the spot as firm cuts prices on home schemes

LONG-STANDING building firm, Crowley Homes of Midleton are offering substantially reduced prices across their line at the moment.

The units on offer are all detached houses with a wide design range, but they do have one element in common — high energy efficiency.

Their Ros Ard scheme in Glanmire has an A-listing and these large and well-planned houses come with heat exchangers, air to water geothermal systems and air-tightness. There are just three on offer in this small development, with one available to view and the price has been reduced by €200,000 from €780,000 to €580,000.

Running to 2,500 square feet, the design is very clever in that all of the living rooms have a triple to double aspect, with a massive, main reception room of 8.35 by 4.2. There’s a separate family room of 7.07 by 3.75 and a kitchen/ diner with the same proportions as the main sitting room. Also included is a study, utility, guest bathroom and four bedrooms accessed via a bright, L-shaped hallway. The master bedroom has one whole wing of the upper floor and is en suite with walk-in wardrobe, while the remaining three double bedrooms share a main bathroom. Built along conventional lines, Ros Ard, is minutes from the Lee Tunnel.

The Carrigtwohill offering, Chestnut Crescent, will benefit from the commuter rail line and here, there are five houses on offer with prices starting from €490,000.

The all-detached scheme also has high energy rated homes, (an A average) and the units can be modified. The selling agent for both projects is Tom O’Keeffe, auctioneer and estate agent.
