Trading up: Woodville, Glanmire €285,000

There was a refreshing look to the design of the houses at Woodville when built back around 2004, in the grounds of the original Woodville House at Ballinglanna/Dunkathel, Glanmire; now, 12 years on, they still look good.

Size: 154 sq m (1,658 sq ft) 

Bathrooms: 4 

Bedrooms: 4 

BER: B2

Developers Rossdale brought in Wilson Architects for the smart-looking scheme which includes very large detacheds, townhouses and apartments in the older building as well.

Now agent Gillian O’Donnell of Sherry FitzGerald brings No 19 the Beeches up for sale.

It’s an end-of-terrace four-bed, in very good condition, over three levels, and it has more than 1,650 sq ft which seems pretty generous for its quoted €285,000 asking price.

Effectively semi-detached, it has a living room with Stanley wood-burning stove, and full height windows to the front, behind is a kitchen/dining room with white gloss units, there’s a guest WC in the hall by the front door, and the first floor is home to three bedrooms, one with en suite and main bathroom.

The top floor houses another en suite bedroom, likely to be used as the master bedroom by families with older children, while those still with smallies might want to sleep closer, on the mid-level.

“This contemporary property offers something different and is a special treat for those looking for a home with a modern feel in a great location,” says Ms McDonnell.

VERDICT: A refreshing, slightly different design
