Good value in a suburb

A THREE-bedroom, 1,000 sq ft modern home in the greater Douglas area for €230,000? Not bad value at all, on the face of it.

New to market with agent Ann O’Mahony of Sherry FitzGerald is 32 Belmont Avenue, in the Garrduff part of Rochestown.

The mid-terraced house, built in the mid-2000s, is in good overall condition, and has the modern accoutrements of guest loo and en suite main bedroom, plus main family bathroom.

Ground floor space is the quite typical front living room, with an open fireplace, but also piped for gas (central heating is also gas fired) with a kitchen/dining room behind, opening to the back, west-facing garden.

The garden has some veg, herb and shrub beds, includes a shed, fenced side partitions and the back wall is concrete block, just needing softening ivies.

Douglas is a short drive away, and the Mount Oval development has put a range of shops and services within a short walk. There’s a great forest and woodland walk up behind the Garryduff sports club, a major local amenity.
