A lot of house for the money

WELL down in price, and with a shift of selling agents, is Sliabh Mish House, near Castlemaine in Co Kerry.

The detached family home at Laharn Lower has seen its asking price slashed from €550,000 to €399,000 — a lot of house for the money, given that is has four of its five bedrooms en suite, and is on a site of 0.75 of an acre.

The location means it is within easy enough strike of Tralee, Killorglin, Kerry Airport at Farranfore and Killarney, while the beach at Inch is a 20 minute spin away. Views and setting are a big thing here, especially with views west to Sliabh Mish itself, says agent Mike Daly of Property Partners Daly Ó Sé.

The two reception rooms have oak floors, the kitchen units are in oak, and also at ground level are a utility, guest WC, and one bedroom. Upstairs, all four remaining bedrooms are en suite.

There’s around 2,500 sq ft of living space in a house in a scenic setting know as the Short Mountain Road.

The painted render two-storey property, with painted corner quoins, on three-quarters of an acre includes a detached garage.
