IT’S a fine big home, an all en suite house and is within walking distance of Youghal’s Blue Flag beach — so this high dormer at Summerfield, Youghal, is ideal for families.
On the market with Sherry FitzGerald Hennessy, it’s been reduced to €260,000 to sell and is already under offer.
And it’s slick inside too and ready for occupation, with a brand new contemporary kitchen, new wooden floors, porcelain tiling and white painted staircase.
The house comes with a decent five bedrooms — all of which are en suite with four on the first floor and the master at ground floor level.
The main bathroom is large and comes with a Jacuzzi bath.
The living space is excellent too, with a formal room of 17’ by 12’, a separate sitting room, kitchen and dining room.
: Built a while but practically new, this house could be a handy little earner as it’s just across from the beach and might suit a seasonal B&B business as well as a fine family home.

THIS eight-year-old detached home at 24 Gleann Scotia, in Tralee’s Ballyard, is in a niche scheme that has always sold well — and for up to €500,000 a pop in recent years.
Now, as the 1,935 sq ft home with two en suite bedrooms comes to market with Sherry FitzGerald Stephenson Crean with a €365,000 asking price, it’s still going to get good viewings, predicts agent Pat Crean.
That’s down to a location five minutes from the town centre in a highly-regarded scheme, near both the Kerry Group’s HQ and Kerry General Hospital.
The house’s overall condition is excellent and it has a south-facing back garden, with good privacy levels for an estate home. Its owners have recently built in the countryside, hence No 24’s arrival for sale, and it’s a very well-decorated and functional lay-out home, ready to move into for new occupants.
Rooms include two reception rooms, sun room, kitchen/dining room, utility with guest WC, and five first floor bedrooms, two of them with shower rooms en suite, plus main family bathroom.
Light, bright and airy, on well-kept grounds, and a smashing location within a walk of the town means this is a seller.

DOING exactly what it says on its name plate, Airport View is a family home to touch down at.
Directly across a few fields from Cork airport’s new terminal, this large bungalow home at Ballincrannig, Ballinhassig is a decent block of a house, on a 1.3 acre site, with a detached outbuilding.
Key to its attractiveness is the location just over a mile and a half from Cork city’s Sarsfield Road by Wilton, so you’re country, with privacy, without being isolated.
In fact, you could walk to the suburbs -—though you’d have an uphill haul coming back out again.
Agent Anthony O’Regan of Keane Mahony Smith, jointly with ERA Downey McCarthy, seeks offers around €375,000 for the dormer home, privately set off a road parallel to the main airport runway, with an ever-changing vista for plane spotters and country views as well.
Airport View has a suitably lofty gallery landing above the entry hall, living room, big sitting room, kitchen/diing room, utility, study/den, and up to five bedrooms, with one en suite and walk-in robes.
A decent amount of space and airiness, handily close to the city’s edge and services, for its €375k guide.

A WORK in progress, but nearly there, is 16 St Colman’s Park in Macroom.
The mature, mid-terraced home has had its makeover work finished upstairs, and has new windows and extra insulation added, but the ground floor needs finishing, says agent Killian Lynch, pricing it at a tempting €90,000.
No 16 has a concrete and gravel rear yard, with a handy workshop at the end.
A great entry level price, or might even suit an investor.

LAND, and old stone sheds carry a bit of extra promise at this Ramhill, Midleton, property re-offer.
A sales hitch for extraneous reasons sees this 11-year-old home return to market after being sale agreed a good few months ago.
And now the price has been reduced in line with the market, to €520,000 via agent Miah McGrath of McCarthy and McGrath.
He says that if people like the land, but don’t need the house, or vice versa, he can sell in lots, but, he doesn’t give a breakdown of price levels for the Ted Crowley-built house or land alone.
This Ramhill property has long, low, old stone outbuildings.
The land’s level, in one parcel with a separate access from the road, and so can be easily hived off or kept separate from the residence.
For those who want a family home and, perhaps, to keep a few horses, it’s perfect all together.
The house itself is two miles from Midleton in east Cork, near Ballinacurra, and has a kitchen/dining room, two reception rooms, en-suite master bedroom, and three other bedrooms. It also has a family bathroom, guest bathroom and utility.
Room to roam at Ramhill.
