Quench your property thirst with another sparkling Limeworth house

IN a week where one Limeworth property went sale agreed close to the guide of €785,000, a second, brand-new house in the same estate has been re-launched.

No 33 Limeworth is the last of 33 detached houses in this enclave off Cork’s Ballincollig bypass.

Again, it’s an object lesson in the trajectory of the property market as it hit the market in the tail-end of 2007, just as prices were falling.

At the time it was on offer at €1.2 million and, while bidding reached the magic million, it never sold.

Now, the 2,400 square foot property is back on the market at a considerably reduced €750,000 guide.

As is’s new, it is free of stamp duty, which should appeal to the numbers of potential buyers who flocked to see no 15 in the last month.

That property was three weeks on the market and it has just gone sale agreed through Norma Healy of Sherry FitzGerald, who’s also handling no 33 Limeworth.

The latter is a fully-finished product, down to a maple kitchen, tiled bathrooms, elegant fireplaces and mahogany flooring.

Landscaping is also complete with a cobble lock driveway to the front and a large patio at the rear.

But the beauty of no 33 is the location, it’s set in a cul-de-sac at the rear of the estate looking over fields towards the Curraheen valley.

It’s private and quiet and, considering the price drop and the amount of space on offer (four all en suite bedrooms with a range of living rooms), is good value for a large, detached house in such a location.
