Owner-occupied since it was built in 2005, No 36 Cois Coillte is right in the heart of Saleen.

“It has a B3 BER, so it’s eligible for lower interest rate ‘green mortgages’,” points out selling agent Kyle Kennedy, of Kennedy Estate Agents, who has just had sale agreed on another Saleen house... No 39 Woodview Lawn, a three-bed semi-detached bungalow that has sold for €350,000.

This semi-detached two-storey home is within walking distance of Saleen National School, and there’s a footpath all the way.

Midleton town is about seven minutes’ drive away. The current owners are a family who are staying in the area.

“It’s just on the market, so we’re only starting viewings.

Already I have 11 booked in for the first day — mainly first-time buyers, but we also have interest from people looking to trade from apartments in places like Midleton,” says Mr Kennedy.

New flooring was installed by the owners, who also renovated the shower room and added a stove with a very cosy looking red brick surround.

The back garden is on three tiers, so you can move to a sunny patch — or into the shade so you can see your phone screen — as you need.

Like the name Cois Coillte (‘By the Woods’) suggests, there are plenty of walking options locally: Saleen and Rostellan Woods are great for exploring. You’ve got The Farm Shop and Café at Rostellan Farm nearby too for fun afternoons.

There are a few beaches — Whitebay, Inch, and Guileen — a short spin away too.

Back at home, which is at the end of a cul-de-sac, there’s a Stira to a partially-floored attic space. The main bedroom is ensuite. Appliances — hob, washing machine, and fridge-freezer — are included in the sale.

VERDICT: A well-maintained, family home featuring a B3 energy rating and modern upgrades — all within easy reach of Midleton, a school, and scenic woods and beaches.
