Trading up: FERMOY, CORK €265,000

RECKONING that the best way to sell No 35 The Meadows is to let people see how good it is, its selling agents have decided to throw open the doors on Sunday afternoon, May 29, to reveal its glories.

With a part-brick and render facades, this four-bedroomed detached house is in one of north Cork town Fermoy’s more popular developments, by the Duntahane Road just off the Cork road. It has over 1,300 sq ft of space, finished to a very good level and is stylish, says Bridget Colbert of Collins O’Meara auctioneers, adding that the garden also has a nice seating/al fresco dining area.

Floors downstairs are in rich walnut or carpet, with high-gloss mocha-coloured kitchen units, and colours set off art work on walls nicely, with a welcoming hallway with off-centre staircase.

One of the four bedrooms is en suite, there’s also a guest WC and main bathroom, and the place needs no work, just to move in, says Ms Colbert.

The back garden is walled and fenced in, is private and can be accessed from either side of the detached house, with off-street parking.

VERDICT: This is a grand box-ticker of a family home, just off Barry’s Boreen within a walk of Fermoy town’s services.
