With its low maintenance garden and waterside location, No 10 The Granary, on Midleton’s scenic Bailick Rd, seems like a good fit for a downsizing couple, with time on their hands to enjoy their surroundings — and room enough to have grandkids over.

The end house in a row of 10 built in 2000, its rear garden has that highly prized south west facing aspect, with patio, overlooking both Ballyannan Woods and Ballinacurra Estuary. For anyone interested in mooring a boat, there’s a private gated walkway to the estuary.

A four-bed semi-d, the 123sq m property has been well-maintained. Living/ dining is open plan with french doors to the rear.

Selling agent Miah McGrath of McCarthy & McGrath Auctioneers says No 10 has “a lot to offer”.

“It’s in a really nice setting and within a 15 minute walk of Midleton town centre. What’s more, when the new cycleway is completed, it will pass right by The Granary, and you will be able to cycle into town and to the train station on a designated cycleway,” the agent says.

He brings No 10 to market with an AMV of €375,000. The price register shows it changed hands two years ago for €280,000. The agent says the niche development is mainly owner occupied.

VERDICT: Downsizer interest likely, but price, location, bedroom count and pending cycleway could also attract buyers looking for a starter home
