Young couples starting out are leading the charge at No 7 Delfern Grove, a three-bed semi-d tucked in at the back of Maryborough Hill.
Already under offer at €423,000 — above the guide of €420,000 — it’s been busy with viewings, with more parties booked in to take a look next week.
Selling the Douglas suburban home is Der O’Riordan of Barry Auctioneers and he says the current owners have done “a beautiful job”.
“They did it up really well. It’s done to a very high standard, it’s like a showhouse,” he says, adding that the property will prove “very popular... as it’s in ready-to-move-in condition and includes the majority of contents”.


Built in the 1980s in what is now considered a mature residential area, a key attraction is how convenient it is to both Douglas village — just 2km away — and also to the South Ring Rd. Anyone travelling to work in Ringaskiddy would appreciate the ease of access from this location. Golfers will like that Douglas Golf Club is across the road on Maryborough Hill.
Mr O’Riordan has been involved in other sales in the neighbourhood and he says some home owners ventured into the attic to create more space. He says the same could be done at No 7 — planning permitting, but there is precedent — if new owners wished. As it stands, No 7 measures 103sq m. One of its two bathrooms is an en suite.
Outdoor space has been put to work at No 7 — a deck off the open plan kitchen/dining room is utilised for barbecues and the rear garden faces west. It includes shrubbery, a garden shed, and lean-to bike storage. The side access passageway can be used for clothes drying as it has a Perspex roof.


No 7 comes with off-street parking and many of the house contents are included in the sale. The attic is insulated and wired and the house has a C2 energy rating.
