A four-bed detached house close to Douglas and with a front-yard view all the way into the city and the Elysian? You’ve got to be in Donnybrook so.

The Rosegarth estate, built in 1985, is located right at the start of the Mangala walkway, which has been really nicely upgraded with public lighting and footpaths
giving a great pedestrian route right into the heart of Douglas village.

No 22 here was extended some years back to around 118.4sq m (1,278sq ft), giving two good-sized living rooms as well as a kitchen-dining room across the south-facing rear. Some handy additions are the climate-controlled central heating — you can manage the temperature of your home remotely via the app.

The downstairs doors are all glazed, so there’s great light flow.

Upstairs, three of the four bedrooms are doubles. The main bedroom is at the front, so you can see city lights in the evening, and it has wall-to-wall sliderobes fitted and there’s an ensuite too.

“It’s really lovely to be able to see all the way in as far as the Elysian from here — and of course that means you get the sun in the back garden,” notes Patricia Stokes of Patricia Stokes Auctioneers & Valuers.

“You’re close to everything here and that’s so handy. The 207 bus route is close and you’re in good proximity to major road networks so that means easy access to
surrounding areas such as Ringaskiddy, Carrigaline, city centre and Cork Airport,” she adds.

VERDICT: A tasty blend of space and connectivity in a comfortable home.
