Cosy home with C2 BER rating

A SOLID, C2 energy BER rating comes with number 15, Ardfield Mews – and that only goes to show how hard it is to get into the A and B ratings.

Anyone who’s lived in these Fleming Construction-built homes (near both an Aldi and a Super Valu, in Grange, Douglas, in Cork city) swears by the comfort levels, thanks to the company’s patented, steel-frame system of building, with integrated, highly effective insulation panels done under the Fusion name.

This home, number 15, was built in the early 2000s and would have had, probably, the highest insulation specification of any new homes being built at the time. To get a higher BER rating, it would probably now need things like solar panels.

Agent Clare O’Sullivan of Savills is selling number 15, set towards the back of the Fleming development facing a cul de sac, for offers around €260,000 for the 1,100 sq ft, three-bed semi-d, in very good order throughout.

It has a hall with guest WC off, a lounge to the front, a kitchen behind, with arch to a dining/living room, and one of the three bedrooms is en-suite.
