Trading Up: Broomfield, Midleton €410,000

The three-storey family home at 14, The Pinnacles, “is a tower of beauty” as you enter this Midleton development of just 19 homes.

So says selling agent James Colbert of No 14, built like its neighbours in the Broomfield area schemes with Ducon concrete slab floors, for heft and solidity. But, it’s alone among the 19 in that all five of its bedrooms are en suite, and helping to keep energy bills reasonable are solar panels up top too.

It fits in all those beds and bathrooms thanks to the third attic level, with one large en suite bedroom up here, effectively a master suite with built-ins, and four others also en suite at first-floor level.
