IF you’ve been living in a three-bed semi in Midleton and are keen for a bit more leg room, the house featured here will give you that.

You’ll face some stiff competition as it’s already under over at well over €500,000, with most of the interest coming from families already living in Midleton and wanting to remain there.

A large, detached dormer on the Cloyne Road, Ballinacurra, a key attraction is how close it is to the town. It’s just five minutes by car, which is good news for families with school-going, sports-mad children.

The massive garden is an asset too. Meticulously designed and carefully nurtured, it spans approximately 0.5 acres, and has plenty of lawn, a tree-lined driveway and a large patio out back.

With five bedrooms – which few households need these days – there are options to convert one into a home office/playroom/den.

 If intergenerational living is on the horizon, the house is well set up to cater for it, with a spacious ground floor bedroom that comes with an ensuite.

Adrianna Hegarty of Hegarty Properties is the selling agent and she describes the site as a “tranquil haven” adding that the 2001-built home is “impeccably maintained”. Accommodation at this 2,230 sq ft home includes a sun room, kitchen diner, sitting room, utility, five bedrooms and four bathrooms.

The guide price is €495,000. A detached double garage offers more accommodation options.

VERDICT: Conveniently close to Midleton town centre. Perfect trade up for families in the area, but should also attract interest from further afield.
