Trading up: Grange Manor, Cork, €340,000

There’s a good mix of living area and sleeping quarters thanks to a rear add-on, third storey of height, at No 2 The Circle.

The tall, detached family home is at Grange Manor, Ovens, west of Cork and Ballincollig, and is now guided for sale at €340,000, for its departing owners.

Auctioneer Norma Healy of Sherry FitzGerald said it’s a modern, well-kept property and that new owners can just walk in and make themselves at home.

The development includes houses in terraces, semi-ds, bungalows and detacheds, and is situated very close to the enormous sprawling EMC company’s campus, a short run off the N22.

Features at the lofty No 2 include a well-sized family room to the back, overlooking the garden and decking, and there’s also access to this back garden from a family room.

Also here at ground level is a living room, with gas fireplace, hall with guest WC, and 20’ by 12’ kitchen/dining with Shaker-style units, and integrated appliances.

Next up are two first-floor bedrooms, each with en suites, and the top floor has two more bedrooms, plus further bathrooms.

Outside the house has off-street parking in front and fenced back garden with shed, and decking/patio.

VERDICT: Hot Ovens home.
