But, as they were actively running at the time and under real time pressure, he didn’t feel it fair to lure them in for viewings.

The Midleton-based McCarthy and McGrath auctioneering firm was a sponsor of the very popular annual c. four-mile ‘Lap the Lake’ fun race, and the race route took the many, many hundreds of runners right past the entrance to this 1977-built, two-storey home.

Launched at €295,000 it is already just over that at €300k in offers, says Mr McGrath, who notes its Ballintotis proximity both to Midleton (three miles) and to Castlemartyr Golf Resort, and adds that it’s within an easy commute of the city also.

This family home by a well-run farm and with Loughaderra views extends to 2,100 sq ft over two levels, and has three reception rooms, and four bedrooms with one en suite.

It’s in good condition, especially for a 40-year old house, has oil central heating and double glazing and gets a respectable enough D1 BER, but needs some updates.

“It’s a unique opportunity for those looking to put their own stamp on a property with generous living accommodation on a great site in a convenient setting, close to Ballintotis NS and the Castlemartyr Resort and golf course,” says Mr McGrath, adding that the grounds are private and well kept.
