Starter Home: Rathcormac, Cork €235,000

A Cork City buyer looking to make their money go further might consider taking a trip to Rathcormac to view No 1 A St Bridget’s.

Selling agents ERA Downey McCarthy say that as a well maintained, 1,530 sq ft, detached, four-bed property with a guide of €235,000, it offers excellent value for money.

Built in 2006, auctioneer Garry O’Donnell says it has been upgraded and updated in recent years by current owners who redecorated, put in a new kitchen and flooring, and added a limestone patio.

Accommodation includes a front facing modern living room with a bay window, walnut flooring and a timber fireplace, and spacious tiled kitchen with fitted units and integrated appliances.

Double doors at the rear open into a tiled sunroom and there’s also a utility room and a guest WC.

Upstairs there’s a bathroom and four timber-floored bedrooms, including one en suite.

The house has zoned oil fired heating and a good B3 energy rating.

Out front there’s a garden and a driveway with space for three or four cars.

At the back there’s a limestone patio as well as a raised bed and a lawned area with a shed.

Mr O’Donnell was expecting a lot of first-time buyer interest at an open viewing during the week.

“It’s in a popular residential location close to a primary school and other amenities and is within a 20-minute drive from Cork city centre and a seven-minute one from Fermoy.”

He reckons a property of this size, in this condition, would probably cost in the region of €300,000 in nearby Watergrasshill.

VERDICT: Spacious and well turned out
