Trading Up: Maryborough, Douglas, €375,000

The last two, quite recent sales at Edgewood, in Cork’s Maryborough Ridge, saw similar four-bed semis selling at €380,000 and €400,000, so the owner-occupier of No 25 is keen to see her own home moving on in this price league too.

Under offer, but as yet shy of its €375,000 asking price with Glenn O’Connor of DNG Creedon in Douglas, No 25’s a very well-kept 1,350 sq ft four-bed home with one en suite and sliding, mirrored robes, guest loo, and main bathroom.

Downstairs has a utility, two wood-floored reception rooms, plus kitchen with units in cherrywood, topped with granite.

The front room has a large, tall window, and a solid fuel open fireplace, while the back room has garden/paved patio access, sheltered by a long side wall of the rear-protruding kitchen.

The DNG agent says O’Brien and O’Flynn’s Maryborough Ridge development is always popular, and 25 Edgewood is in a cul de sac section with walled in, south- facing back garden and with a brick-paved front drive, double width, for parking.

The location’s good, above Douglas village and with an access point to the ring road network too, says Mr O’Connor who notes the house is in excellent condition, inside and out, and has a C1 BER.
