Starter home: Midleton, Co Cork €145,000
THE charm of a bygone era but the comforts of the modern one, are on offer at 16 McSweeney Terrace in Midleton.
On the outside, say the late 19th Century gable fronted end of terrace cottage has rubble limestone walls, redbrick window quoins and period detail.
On the inside, the two-bed property has almost 600 sq ft of recently modernised and redecorated accommodation.
Seeking offers of €145,000, selling agents Hegarty Properties say that in addition to being both tastefully decorated and charming, the cottage is also very centrally located.
“It’s in an established residential area within a short walk from the town centre and is just across the road from the train station,” says Adrianna Hegarty who believes it will appeal to both investors and first-time buyers.
Accommodation includes a large timber floored living room with a timber ceiling, a fireplace with a stove and a window at both the back and the front.
There’s also a guest WC and a galley kitchen with white gloss units, tiled flooring and appliances.
Upstairs there’s a modern shower room and two carpeted bedrooms — one at the front and one, with a roof light, at the back.
Fitted with double glazed windows and electric storage heating, the cottage has a G energy rating.
To the front it has a small lawned garden with some shrubs and to the rear there’s a graveled yard, which Ms Hegarty says would be a perfect place for a new owner to build a sunroom.
The Property Price Register records this property as having being sold in March 2013 for €75,000.
A pretty option for a buyer in search of a cosy home
