Trading up: Riverstick, Co Cork €385,000

Within a week of going on the market, No 19 Brookdale in Riverstick got an offer in excess of the asking price of €385,000

Selling agents Casey & Kingston are keeping it on the market saying the interest level in the 2,600 sq ft detached house has been high. “We are getting viewings from buyers with children looking for a trade-up property,’’ says auctioneer Conor Smith.

The five-bed house on a quarter of an acre site has all the space a growing family could want. “It was built in 2003 and is tastefully decorated and in superb condition,’’ says Mr Smith adding that it’s individually built in a cul de sac with around 18 other properties.
