Woodlands good to go

Ready-made four-bed trading up Frankfield family home, Tommy Barker reports.

THERE’S a good open, airy flow to the ground floor at 29 Woodlands, a four-bed detached Douglas Cork home with a €290,000 guide.

New to market with agents Clare O’Sullivan and Catherine McAuliffe of Savills, the 1,560 sq ft family home is in great condition, on an extra-sized well-planted garden, and is a ready-made trading up, or trading in, family home.

Location is in Frankfield, on the hills above Douglas, and No 29 in the Woodlands scheme is in a quiet cul-de-sac section too, stress the agents calling the location ’enviable’, and the house ‘desirable’.

It’s a west-facing double-fronted family home with main 15’ by 11’ front reception to the back 25’ wide and 10’ deep dining area, all ash floored, and a tiled kitchen to the right, with units in oak and a sliding patio door to the back garden for morning sun.

No 29’s central hall is floored in bright white Amtico, with a study or playroom off to the right, and there’s also a utility and guest WC rounding up the lower level sensible spread and layout of rooms.

Upstairs, the carpeted master bedroom is to the back of the house, with en suite with shower and wainscoting, while the family bathroom has a bath with shower. There are three other bedrooms, two doubles and a single, and heating overall is via gas.

Looking good for viewings with gardens in fine fettle, No 29 also has off-street parking and front lawn, and a shed with power supply in the back garden, along with two sets of patio seating.

VERDICT: No 29’s all good to go, a short few minutes from Douglas and the Kinsale Road roundabout.
