STARTER HOMES
SIMPLY designed but quite pretty, this bungalow (pictured) packs a surprising amount of space, and has even more in the attic on offer.
On the market with Killian Lynch of KL Auctioneers, the house at Rusheen, Coachford, is on offer at €205,000 and taking the site of an acre and the quality of the house into account, you couldn’t build the property for that.
Private and in a mature leafy setting, this house has a lot of offer as a starter home.
Verdict: Huge first floor bedroom space in a good, solid house. The driveway too is 100 years old and a gem.
Price: €205,000
Sq. m: 168 (1,800 sq ft)
Bedrooms: 4

THE interior of this West Commons, Ardfert Co Kerry family home on a half acre with scenic views has been laid out to be open and practical, says selling agent Sherry FitzGerald Stephenson Crean, who’ve just shaved a bit off the asking price, down to €250k.
Within easy reach of Tralee, and beaches at Banna and elsewhere, it’s a modern home, with one en suite, and a good kitchen/ diner plus living room, whilst its rear is west-facing and best placed for mountain views.
Although a basic bungalow shape, there’s a stone-faced front porch and bay window to break up the facade, and the grounds are lawned.
VERDICT: A comfortable take on the traditional bungalow.
Price: €250,000

No 7 Rosebank needs working on, and maybe drawing up a renovation budget might inform a subsequent bid under its €250k asking price, but this is a suburban semi-d that will earn its keep over the coming years.
The three-bed, on the market with Cohalan Downing, is at the top of this mid 1900s residential estate between the two principal roads from Cork city to Douglas, and both city and the ‘village’ are a handy walk., so the car can be parked up.
VERDICT: Inner-suburban locations are only going to grow in demand.
Price: €250,000
