Trish Dromey says Woodbrook semi-d is open to viewings, and well worth a look-see.    

Young couples with thoughts of setting up home in Glanmire may wish to go along to the open viewings at 4 Woodbrook, Castlejane.

“This three bed semi is a great starter - it’s in good condition, has space in the gardens for an extension and is a 10 minute drive from shops, schools, the Link Road, the Dunkettle roundabout and the tunnel,’’ says Gillian McDonnell of Sherry FitzGerald, guiding at €230,000.

Built 20 to 25 years ago, the 925 sq ft house is located in a mature estate in a cul de sac.

To the front there’s an open plan garden at the front with a small lawn. To the side there’s an off street parking area and to the rear a patio, a shed and good sized lawn.

“The back garden is west facing and isn’t overlooked. A buyer could consider putting an extension at the back or on to the side,’’ says Ms McDonnell adding that interest in the property has been good Earlier this year a property at 37 Woodbrook sold for €217,000.
