Starter Home: Midleton, Cork, €235,000
HE omens are good that this spacious, three-bed semi, No 8, The Paddocks, Castleredmond, in Midleton, will sell very quickly.
No 10, just two doors away, sold at the end of November, having been on the market for a little over two weeks, for €225,000. The Property Price register shows six sales in this popular estate this year, including No 9, which sold for €225,000 in October.
“There is a shortage of good, three-bed semis in Midleton, and we have a list of people, mostly first-time buyers, who are waiting to buy a house like this,’’ says Adrianna Hegarty, of Hegarty Properties, who prices it at €235,000.
With an attic conversion, the 2003-built house has a spacious, 1,400 sq ft of living space. Said to be very well-maintained and in “ walk-in condition”, it has a C2 energy rating. To the front, there’s a timber-floored sitting room with a pine fireplace and, to the rear, a spacious kitchen/dining room, which has cream, Shaker-style units with integrated appliances. At ground level, the house has a guest WC and a utility room.
Upstairs, there’s a bathroom and three bedrooms, including a master bedroom with built-in units and an en suite. In the attic, there’s a 19’by 14’ long timber-floored room, which could be an office or a gym.
For off-street parking, there’s a cobblelock drive at the front and, to the rear, there’s a long-tiered garden with lawn and decking.
The location, within a ten-minute walk from the town centre, is one of the reasons Castleredmond is so popular.
It could well be gone by Christmas.
