The location and size of the site around this Young Grove house give it some nice versatility.

Shalom, a detached home near Midleton, has 0.34 acres of mature garden.

There’s a bay-windowed living room which links on to a sunroom, and a cosy kitchen/dining room which also has a bay window as well as a multi-fuel stove. Separated from the main living areas by a hallway are three ground-level bedrooms — the main one has its own bathroom.

A staircase leads to the large attic space that new owners could look at converting to two first-floor bedrooms as the rooms have en suite bathrooms and both have two Velux windows. Built in 1998, this home also has a detached garage.

Interest so far is coming from people looking to buy their first home as well as people living in Glanmire and the city keen to trade up to a property with a bit more space around it, notes Adrianna Hegarty, of Hegarty Properties who is guiding at €410k. “This house has quite high ceilings and is just five minutes from Midleton town centre. You can also reach the N25 to the city or Carrigtwohill without having to go into Midleton,” adds Ms Hegarty.

VERDICT: Nice accessible rural location.
