Hall at No 34

It’s an early re-sale in this leg of Janeville, where Astra Construction has completed c 450 homes of a planned 1,000 units. Auctioneer Dan Howard, who’s overseeing sales of the new builds, says he has “a waiting list as long as my arm”. He recently sold a three-bed semi, similar to this one, for €440,000, from a starting price of €395,000.

Kitchen/dining at No 34 

Trevor O’Sullivan of Lisney Sotheby’s is selling No 34. First time buyers are in the majority, but investors are sniffing too as potential monthly rental income is €2,200.

No 34 has a lot going for it: A3 energy rating, south-facing back garden and on the right side of Carrigaline for Douglas and Ringaskiddy.

The vendors bought it new in 2018 and it hasn’t lost its freshness.

Kitchen

 Accommodation at this 116 sq m semi-d includes an open-plan kitchen/dining room with patio doors to the rear; a living room, a utility and a guest WC on the ground floor.

Living room

Mr O’Sullivan says No 34 is “the epitome of contemporary living” and  “benefits from its proximity to both Douglas village (less than 10 minutes by car) and vibrant Carrigaline”.

VERDICT: Ideal for a first time buyer, if they can see off potential investors.
