Starter home: Donnybrook, Cork, €220,000

Douglas three-bed sure to attract lots of interest, writes Trish Dromey.

Given that three-bed properties with an asking price of €220,000 are fairly thin on the ground in Douglas, No 1 Chatsworth can be expected to drum up good interest.

Situated at the top of Donnybrook Hill in a gated development of just ten properties, it’s an end of terrace house with 1,146 sq ft of accommodation spread over three floors.

Glenn O’Connor of DNG Creedon says that when advertised online this attracted immediate first time buyer interest.

“It’s a fine-sized modern house within walking distance of Douglas village and it’s priced well,’’ he says adding that it was built in 2004 and is in good condition.

At ground floor level there’s a laminate floored living dining room with a fireplace as well as a kitchen at the rear with modern fitted units.

The first floor has a bathroom and two double bedrooms — including one with sliding doors opening out on to a small balcony at the front.

The top floor has a large master bedroom with laminate flooring and an en suite bathroom.

As the first house in the development it’s the only one with side access.

Bounded by high stone walls on two sides of the back garden it has a lawned area as well as small patio and a shed.

The property has two parking spaces in the development.

The most recent sale in Chatsworth was in February 2016 when No 5 sold for €220,000.

VERDICT: May well sell above its asking price.
