Midleton townhouse sitting pretty on the waterfront

An opportunity to live on the waterfront in a spacious and stylish four-bed townhouse is now on offer at 8 The Granary, Bailick Rd, Midleton.

Guiding at €240,000, the 1,335 sq ft property is on the market with Hegarty Properties, who say it’s well- located and in showhouse condition.

“It’s within a 10- minute walk from the town centre and it has scenic views of the Ballinacurra Estuary and Ballyannan Woods,” notes auctioneer Adrianna Hegarty.

Built in 2000, it’s one of just ten houses in a cul-de-sac development which overlooks the estuary at the rear.

In a slightly unusual layout, the property has its kitchen at the front, a timber-floored room with beech-effect units, and freestanding appliances.

To the rear there’s a large open plan living/dining room with a fireplace, patio doors, and views of the river.

Also at this level is a guest WC and a small cloakroom.

Upstairs is a bathroom and four carpeted bedrooms. Overlooking the estuary, the master bedroom measures 19’ by 15’, has an en suite and fitted wardrobes.

The house has double-glazed windows and a C3 energy rating.

To the front there’s a planted area and to the rear a lawned garden with a patio.

At the end of the garden there’s a gate opening on to a graveled walkway running alongside the river.

The property has two parking spaces in the development.

Properties in the Granary don’t come on the market very often.

The Property Price Register only shows two since it started recording.

The most recent was in November 2015 when a three-bed townhouse at No 6 sold for €186,000.
