Two-bed home is cool and cosy

ALL done up, and not lived in since it was made over as a cosy two-bed nest, is No 2 Glen Road, in Cork harbour’s Monkstown area.

The compact two-bed has a reduced €199,000 AMV via Jeremy Murphy Associates – and comes on the heels of the successful sale by another agent of the larger two-bed coach-house lodge by Monkstown Castle. The renovated and extended 1,300 sq ft coach-house went up for sale in April with O’Donoghue Clarke, guiding €425,000, and is likely to have made between €375 and €400k.

Meanwhile, also a walk-in job, and hugely well insulated with underfloor heating, No 2 the Glen is stylish, and ideal for first time buyers, says Jeremy Murphy. It has an open plan, maple-floored kitchen/dining and living area with fireplace, open tread staircase to a master bedroom with en suite bathroom and built-ins on its gable wall. It is near Monkstown’s harbour front, Sand Quay and sailing club, tennis club, golf club and wooded walks in the demesne.
