‘Look, it’s the Lough’ will be what every single visitor may well cry once they get into this three-bed semi-d. 

There is a clue in the address of course — Stagmount is at Lough Villas, a discreet cul-de-sac just off Lough Rd, shortly after you pass the Lough Church on your right.

The houses here are on the left and you enter from what is the back of the property. The ‘front’ of the house is at the top of a large sloping garden that sweeps right down to the lovely walkway and green areas around the Lough itself. There is a high brick wall at the lowest point of the garden as a boundary from the public part of the Lough.

Back at the house, believed to be built in the 1930s/40s, there’s a bay-windowed sitting room and separate dining room, both with older style fireplaces. Upstairs, in 104 sq m Stagmount, on the market for €485k, there are three bedrooms.

And in a real ‘golden ticket’ feature, the house has the title to four car spaces.

“This is a lovely family home in very good order. I’m expecting strong interest from people working in sectors such as the College or hospitals nearby or from people originally from the area who know what a great property this is,” notes Timothy Sullivan of Timothy Sullivan & Associates.

VERDICT: A very convenient and attractive location, though the E energy rating and decor will benefit from clever modernisation.
