Starter homes: Macroom, Cork

There’s plenty of living space, for all of a family’s life cycle, at the four-bed dormer home 4 Sullane Weirs, on the edge of Macroom town.

In very good order, it has 2,400 sq ft to stretch out in, mature gardens, and a picturesque setting by the River Sullane with an amenity riverside walk which gives pedestrian options back to the town. Its views include Macroom castle, demesne and the golf club.

For sale with Michael Hinchion of Sherry FitzGerald Hinchion who guides at €240,000, it’s got one of its four bedrooms at ground level, and one overhead is en suite.

VERDICT: A clean buy, extendable, but already well-sized and specified.
