Don Colleran of Colleran auctioneers will conduct one of the last auctions of the season next Thursday, November 15, in the Victoria Hotel. All three properties going under the hammer at the event are situated within the city and have generated a lot of interest because of their location and value. There is something for everyone in this auction from first time buyers to families trading up and shrewd investors.
No 16 Cooke’s Terrace, Bohermore, has caught the eye of many first time buyers and investors because of its city centre location and value on offer with an AMV of only €85,000. The property has been maintained in excellent condition and extended to offer additional living space. The house was recently reroofed and insulated, and there is dual central heating with an oil fired burner and a solid fuel Stanley range in the kitchen. The house has been extended to include a spacious kitchen cum dining room and the extension includes a downstairs bathroom. If you are a first time buyer or a young family you will appreciate the spacious back garden, a rarity in city centre properties. Less than a 10 minute stroll from Eyre Square, Cooke’s Terrace is a gilt edged investment.
Also grabbing the attention of first time buyers is No 20 Rockmount Road, Highfield Park, because of its proximity to the hospital, NUIG, city centre, and Salthill. In need of some modernisation, this is also very attractively priced with an AMV of only €155,000 for a very spacious four bed semi. Built in the late 1960s, each room offers a lot of natural light and space you will seldom find in newer houses. Accommodation includes a wide entrance hall, a large spacious sitting room with open fireplace, and an unusually large dining room and separate fitted kitchen. The ground floor also offers an en suite bedroom. On the first floor there are two large double bedrooms, a single bedroom, and a bathroom. The front garden offers off-street parking and the east facing back garden has a block built shed for additional storage. Highfield is a popular established residential area and this house is within walking distance of primary and secondary schools, NUIG, UHG, and two shopping centres.
Old sayings often ring true, and with property ‘location, location, location’ is all important. The third property being auctioned, 1 Glenard Road, Salthill, offers an ideal location and would suit any growing family or someone looking to retire in a popular, mature, and established community. Situated in the heart of Salthill but away from the hustle and bustle, No 1 has the additional attraction of a sun filled west facing back garden with an extra wide side entrance, with lots of space and potential to extend and develop.
The accommodation at Glenard Road currently consists of four bedrooms, large sitting room with fireplace, separate dining room with fireplace, fitted kitchen, utility, downstairs toilet, bathroom, and garage. This home also has a very large attic, which has already been part converted for additional storage and a work area.
With a choice of schools, both primary and secondary on your doorstep, your children can walk to school and walk to the local GAA club, tennis club, golf club, swimming pool, beaches, parks, and city centre.
With only one week to go to the auction on November 15 there is still time to view these excellent properties. Contact Colleran auctioneers, 21 Eyre Square, 091 562293, for an appointment to view.
