You could set up your own tennis court (78 feet long) or padel court (65.6 feet long) and still have room over for a patio at this Ballinlough home. Its approximately 90 feet (27.5 metres) long back garden is proving a key selling point.

“We’ve had a very busy uptake on this home for sure — when you have a back garden the size of this and with this aspect you can expect a lot of interest,” points out Garry O’Donnell of ERA Downey McCarthy.

It is pretty much a given that new owners will want to significantly upgrade and update, 1953-built No. 6 Beechwood Park in Ballinlough with its BER of G — a stroll in the neighbourhood shows glossy front doors, fresh facades, and extensions galore.

“It is a structually sound house: underpinned and certified in 2008, and whether people just want to modernise or add on extra square footage it’s definitely a home for life,” adds Mr O’Donnell.

This property may be eligible for Vacant House & Deep Retrofit Grants subject to successful application. Recent-ish sales of houses in Beechwood Park include No. 16 for €640k; and No. 42 for €615k, both in 2024.

Viewings of this three-bed semi-detached home just around the corner from Ballinlough Park and a short stroll from a clutch of primary schools have been brisk. There’s a bus stop on the main Ballinlough Road and you’ve got a credit union, pharmacy and bustling supermarket all within easy walking distance.

And Ballinlough Tennis Club is nearby too... if you prefer to keep your back garden for shrubs and flowers.

VERDICT: This home could be game, set, and perfect match for the right buyer.
