“They are well able,” says estate agent Adrianna Hegarty of the vendors of 22 Castleview, a c 40 year old three/four-bed semi-d which has been given a thorough interior updating in East Cork’s Carrigtwohill.

The young family put in high-performance, A-rated German windows and doors back in 2020, giving an exterior lift; they reskimmed walls, updated doors, architraves and skirtings; put in new floors, a kitchen and retiled and smartened up the main and ground floor bathrooms, all resulting in an interiors look far away from this home’s mid ‘80s roots.

They also put work into the back garden, doing an L-shaped paving/patio, built raised beds, and there’s a small garden shed for storage plus smart understairs storage…and, it’s all in walk-in order.

The Price Register shows No 22 selling in 2018 for €232,500, with prices in the estate rising to €277,500 by 2022 when the last resale occurred, of No 24.

Ms Hegarty feels she’s going to get interest from two ends of the spectrum: older couples trading down or trading in and who want to be in town, and young families as it’s a mature, settled location near very good schools.

Close by is Carrigtwohill’s highly regarded St Aloysius’s secondary school and its sports facilities, and there’s a safe walk to Carrigtwohill’s Main Street by the school grounds.

No 22 has front and rear reception rooms, with a galley-style kitchen off the back living/dining room, there’s a good sized guest WC, plus across the hall is a multi-use room, a playroom, den, study/home office or optional fourth bedroom “and that could suit an older buyer thinking ahead, as you could knock from this room into the downstairs bathroom if you had to,” Ms Hegarty adds.
