Trading up: Douglas, Cork €370,000
Located in a row of detached houses at the front of the estate, the four bed property was built around five years ago and was subsequently extended by its owners who remodelled the kitchen dining area.
Selling agents Sherry FitzGerald say is very well finished and beautifully maintained. Auctioneer Johnny O’Flynn says the condition along with the location, within walking distance of Douglas village, are the main selling points. Accommodation includes a walnut floored lounge with a bay window, a utility room and at the rear, a large open plan kitchen dining living area. The owners knocked the original wall between the dining area and the kitchen, extended the room and put in cream painted units with butcher block work surfaces, a centre island and an Aga. Upstairs there’s a bathroom and four bedrooms including one with Sliderobes and an en suite. The property has well maintained gardens with a cobblelock drive at the front and a lawned area with a feature circular patio at the rear.
