Appealing enough to attract an immediate bid of its €325,000 guide price, No 14 Maymount in Friars Walk is a three-bed, Victorian-era terrace home within a 20-minute walk of the city centre.

The central location is the real selling point, says Aine McLoughlin of AML Property Services, noting that the house, renovated by previous owners and redecorated by current ones, is well-presented and attractive.

“It’s in a quiet residential cul-de-sac setting and has an off-street parking space, something you don’t often get in properties close to the city,” she adds.

Offering 74 sq metre of accommodation, it has a carpeted sitting room with a modern fire and a kitchen/diner with cream units. There’s a bathroom and a small utility in a rear extension while the upstairs has three carpeted bedrooms.

“The current owner repainted the interior and the backyard and also planted a very colourful raised bed,” reveals Ms McLoughlin. Fitted with double-glazed windows and gas heating, the house has a C2 BER.

It’s within 1.5km of UCC so the property could attract the interest of parents buying for UCC students as well as first-time buyers, says Ms McLoughlin, pointing out that it doesn’t have a rent cap so could also appeal to investors.

VERDICT: With 20 viewings booked, it’s proving very popular.
