Value aplenty for three-bed mid-terrace property in Knockraha

Impeccable finish inside, and long rear garden to relax in, Tommy Barker reports

IT’S only eight miles out from Cork City, and there’s value to be had in the walk-into house at 16 Ard Abhainn, in Knockraha village, beyond Glanmire. Agent Frances O’Brien of DNG Murphy Condon is seeking offers around €130,000 for the three-bed mid-terrace home, with en suite main bedroom and guest WC, all in immaculate order, and with off-street parking and long rear garden with shed and seating area for westerly evening sun.

The back faces east, the front ‘good room’ to the west, and decor levels are high, with a good high gloss kitchen, porcelain tiled floor and breakfast-bar type separating the well-fitted kitchen and the 15’ by 8’ dining space, which comes with sliding patio doors. There’s also a handy utility room off the kitchen, making for a very good accommodation spec overall.

The hall and front room have walnut flooring, the front 13’ by 12’ living room’s got a feature electric fire, and the rest of the central heating is gas-fired.

Ms O’Brien says finishes are impeccable throughout, and Knockraha is easily reached from Glanmire and other employment bases at Carrigtwohill and Little Island.
