Trading up: Monkstown, Cork €450,000

The detached house, on a country site embracing its southerly aspect to the rear, is 40 years old and was extended again a decade later. A new kitchen and wet room/bathroom (with underflooor heating) were added in a more recent (2012) upgrade which saw rewiring, replumbing and preparations made for solar panels, and electric access gates.
Now, in the fullness of reinvigorated health (and with foundations in place under a patio for future extension) Cloonlara comes for sale with Niamh Moloney and Ann O’Mahony of Sherry FitzGerald who guide at €450,000.
