“Properties like this don’t come to the market every day,” said Fergal Leonard. “Thoroughly well maintained throughout and with the enviable luxury that is an indoor swimming pool, this property is a hidden jewel. It boasts many qualities, such as sea views, large basement partially converted, large rooms, attic converted to bedrooms and fully compliant, good energy rating, and we are expecting a lot of interest at the quoted AMV of €425,000.” The experience in the market today is that many houses are selling for below cost, but with an advised minimum value of just €425,000 this is a fraction of what it would cost to acquire this site and build what is on it today!
