WHERE will you get underfloor heating, solid oak kitchen with granite worktop and solid beech doors in a starter home?

At Castle Heights, Carrigaline is where — and this Castlelands Construction scheme comes with a good BER rating and quality finishes.

No 12 Fern Drive is the latest offering here and is on the market with Dan Howard of Dooley and Howard for offers in the region of €149,000.

There’s an offer of €145,000 at the moment and five of these houses have been sold in the last two weeks — at the guide price, Dan Howard points out.

Verdict: Quality house, handy location, fair price — what’s not to like?
