Quite nice, quiet location, quite a find

HETTYFIELD MEWS is a quiet find, with just eight terraced houses in two blocks ranged around a 100-year-old Scots Pine just off Cork’s Well Road.

Sales are, consequently, rare enough here. No 4, with an attached garage and fantastic back garden, sold back around the end of 2008 for around €380,000, and No 2 sold earlier in the 2000s for a good sum too. Now, No 2 has come back up for sale, and since has a new kitchen fitted plus an upgraded main bathroom, but this time around it can be bought for close to its €280,000 guide price quoted by agents Cahalane Skuse.

With a short walk of Douglas village, it’s a three-bed mid-terraced townhouse, with arch-linked front and back reception rooms, a kitchen is off to the side with smart timber units, and a WC has been fitted under the stairs. Overhead are three bedrooms, two with built-ins and one is en suite with a shower, while the main bathroom has been upgraded and freshly tiled.
