Trading up: To the Manor born in Rochestown, €495,000

Tucked away at the end of a cul de sac in Rochestown, Number 14 Manor Downs offers excellent space and privacy as well as countryside and harbour views.

Significantly expanded and improved since it was built in 1989, it has five bedrooms and isn’t very far off of having 2,000sq ft of living space. Extended at both the side and the rear as well as reconfigured on the inside, it’s been insulated and fitted with solar panels and now has a high B3 BER rating.
