THE MARKET may be quiet but there’s still stuff selling, as several of our stories this week show. And auctions are ticking over. Cloghala House, in Dungarvan, Co Kilkenny, a six-bed on about nine acres of parkland, sold for €335,000 through ERA Donohoe Properties. The detached period house, which needs refurbishment, had a pre-auction AMV of €350,000.
The house, which dates from the 1800s, is just outside the village of Dungarvan, about 17km from Kilkenny .
Not everyone wants to go to auctions, but a successful auction may tempt others to go to market – or at least give vendors some idea of values in their area.
The house on the right at 127 Booterstown Avenue is on the market for €950,000 and agent Robert Lawson of Lisney is confident it will make a good price: last week, North’s achieved €880,000 for a house around the corner on Booterstown Park – it made €130,000 over its AMV. (Lisney’s Lawson also sold a house on Booterstown Park a little over a year ago for over its AMV of €1.95m.)
Number 127, which has been remodelled and extended, is a 225sq m (2,425sq ft) five-bed (two en suite) that’s in turnkey condition.
