You would well believe that ‘Come on in and we’ll go straight through to the kitchen or back garden’ will be a typical greeting at No 63 The
Orchards in Kinsale.

The rear of this three-bed semi-detached house is south-facing — perfect to make the most of any bright weather.

And it’s located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in a well-established estate — with three schools, two primary and one secondary, all within a few hundred metres.

“This house is in very good condition and isn’t overlooked, it will definitely appeal to first-time-buyers and to people downsizing,” says selling agent Gobnait O’Connell of Engel & Völkers.

Two of the three bedrooms are doubles and the one at the rear of the house is ensuite. There’s a guest WC downstairs and the main bathroom is
upstairs.

VERDICT: Just minutes from the centre of Kinsale and there’s off-street parking for two cars so this will be looked at with interest.

Top of the class for this A-rated four-bed semi-detached Lehenaghmore home. Families will be keen on the large green outside No. 27 Coolkellure Rise.“It’s close to ‘everything’ and is already attracting young couples and families,” says Der O’Riordan of Barry Auctioneers & Valuers.

It’s within easy reach of Cork Airport and only a couple of hundred metres from bus routes with boys, girls, and mixed primary schools within 2km.

The main bedroom is en suite and there are fitted wardrobes in the others.

VERDICT: Energy efficient and spacious — one to interest families looking for easy access to schools and activities.

Charming-looking detatched cottage in Tower

Tower, Co Cork
€365,000
Size	89 sq m (958 sq ft)
Bedrooms	3
Bathrooms	2
BER	D1

This detached traditional-looking cottage with its cheery red door at No 62 Primrose Hill in Tower’s Model Village development is all about modern life. Even its location is likely to attract buyers who may well work in EMC/Dell, VMware, or Apple.

Built around 40 years ago, it fits quite a bit in — stone fireplace, two double bedrooms, guest WC downstairs, and main bathroom upstairs. An open-plan kitchen/ living/ dining creates a spacious feel, helped by the open riser stairs.

There’s a good-sized back garden and lawn and a gravel drive to the front.

“This could well suit down-sizers who want their own space or first-time buyers or families as it’s close to so much,” notes Robert Harkin of Harkin & Associates.

The 215 bus route from Tower/Blarney to Blackpool, Cork City, and Mahon Point is worth noting, and this house is in walking distance of Tower village.
