There's good space at this Cobh address already — and room to extend upwards or outwards too if new owners want.

No 59 The Spires at Carrignafoy is also handy for secondary school students — or parents of these students — as Carrignafoy Community College is an easy 500 metre stroll away.

Living at this four-bed semi-d might also cut down on lifts required for sporting activities as there are soccer and Cobh GAA pitches only across the way — and Coral Leisure Cobh's 25-metre pool is also across from the entrance to this development.

Built in 2001, this 109 sq m house has a good-sized south-facing back garden and there are double doors opening out from the bright kitchen/dining room.

"The beauty of these houses is that a high roof pitch gives good room for attic conversions — and indeed many neighbouring houses here have added extensions to the rear as well as converting attics to one or two rooms with a bathroom," notes agent Johanna Murphy of Johanna Murphy & Sons.

There is already an extended room to the side which offers fantastic flexibility and can be used as a playroom, home office, second reception room, or indeed a fourth bedroom if required, adds Ms Murphy.

This house, which is now on the market for €400k, is within walking distance of the main East and West Beaches of Cobh; there's a bus stop at the entrance to the estate, and it's about 2km from Cobh Train Station.
