Trading up: Mayfield, Cork €259,000

Sq m: 168 (1,800 sq ft)

Now guided at €259,000 is the spacious, and upgraded, 1,800 sq ft three/four bed family home 7, Murmont Villas.

Just off the Old Youghal Road, and near St Joseph’s Church in Mayfield, beyond St Luke’s Cross and Dillon’s Cross, it’s a very good family home, says estate agent Matt Fallon of the Property Partners network.

It has two reception rooms, each 15’ by 12’ and the kitchen/diner’s the same size. Plus, to the side and back is a study, with side access and this can be used as fourth bedroom.

In addition, there’s a 140 sq ft sun room to the back of No 7, with a glass roof, and upstairs are three bedrooms, along with main family bathroom. Finally, there’s an attic which is floored, insulated and has a Velux window to the back.

No 7 Murmont Villas has been very well kept, and has a cobble lock front drive with some planting and lawn section, and behind is stepped, and paved, with a steel garden shed.

VERDICT: Ready to go semi-d in a quiet northside setting, with easy reach of Glanmire and the north ring road.
