Hard to stay detached when this showhouse is such good value

DOWN from around €575,000 in the boom, the last detached house in the Abhainn Beag estate in Skibbereen is on the market at €375,000 – and it includes the full showhouse fit-out.

Selling agent Pat Maguire says it’s one of two showhouses remaining at the leafy, Baltimore Road, address, (the Ballsbridge of the Skibbereen), of a 20-house scheme.

With a bit of a pick-up since Christmas, he expects keen interest in this substantial, 2,700 square foot property because of quality and the keenness of the price.

A five-bed, three-storey, no 6 Abhainn Beag is Victorian in style like all the other houses in the scheme.

It has a lush interior, with lots of polished porcelain, quality flooring and furniture, beds and fittings included in the sale price.

It’s good value in comparison to city prices.

Pat Maguire is also selling the last of the semi-detached four beds, also a show house and including all fittings, for offers in the region of €280,000 – and once they’re gone – they’re gone, he says.
