THE daffodils in the front garden have popped up to put on a welcoming display for viewings at No 1 Sylvian Villas at Killeens.

End of terrace in a row of three, this is a two bed property which has been extended, renovated, re-roofed, and fitted with external insulation by the owners who have had it for 20 years.

Selling agents Humphrey Hogan Auctioneers in Blarney say the 1940s house has been very well cared for and offers an ideal opportunity for a first time buyer. Guiding at €185,000, it has approximately 1,000 sq ft of living space.

To the front there’s a living room with a fireplace and varnished floorboards and to the rear a kitchen/dining room with fitted units and appliances as well as a carpeted sitting room.

Upstairs the property has a bathroom in a second storey extension at the rear and two spacious bedrooms, both 16’ long, with varnished timber flooring.

Fitted with PVC double glazed windows and oil fired heating, the house has a C1 energy rating. The external insulation was fitted in recent months and the exterior repainted.

To the front there’s a lawned garden with steps; to the side there’s a driveway with parking and to the rear a long garden in need of attention. Once the weather improves the owners are planning to roll and seed it.

Mr Hogan says the location within a short drive from Blarney and Cork city is good. He expects it to be of particular interest to first time buyers looking for something close to Blackpool.

“It’s just two kilometres from Blackpool Retail park and would be ideal for anyone working there or at the North Point Business Park.”

VERDICT: Spacious for a two-bed
