4 family homes on sale in Cork for under the €300,000 mark

When you have a growing family, there is a certain type of property you will favour.

The tick-list may include a home consisting of three bedrooms, within walking distance of schools and shops, with a green play area and a community feel.

Oh, and the price has to be right.

I sourced four properties fitting this description in Cork city and its suburbs that are ready to move into and are under the €300,000 valuation mark.

With the cost of energy high, I’ve also chosen homes that have a decent BER rating already.

1. 48, Briarscourt, Shanakiel, €285,000

This three-bedroom, one-bathroom property comes with a BER rating of D2.

It is located at the back of a well-established estate, and a green area to the front of the homes has beautiful trees, while the area is quiet and friendly.

The homes in the row are all beautifully kept. There’s plenty of parking in front of the house too and the communal area is spotless.

The property has timber floors, and a well-appointed kitchen with loads of natural light thanks to the double doors out to the back garden.

The views are amazing across the city, and the bus takes you to the centre of town in minutes.

Ready to move into, spotless, and convenient, this would make the perfect home for a family.

2. 8, Meadow Park, Ballyvolane, €295,000

Our second property has just come onto the market, and is a fabulous three-bedroom and one-bathroom semi-detached home with a BER rating of C1. Primary and secondary schools are a stone’s throw away, with a shopping centre on the corner.

This semi-detached is a gem. The interior is stunning! Warm and inviting, the huge windows spread natural light all around the home.

The current owners have created a heavenly kitchen which would be the pride of any family.

The recess lighting keeps the space open and bright, and yet the warm colours of the kitchen units make the room inviting and cosy, with the feature wall colour binding the design of the room together beautifully.

The landing is bright and spacious and the light timber floors keep the bedrooms bright.

There’s a lovely garden at the back, with a convenient side entrance available.

3. 51, Seanabothair, Killeens, near Blarney, €295,000

This is a beauty!

The three-bedroom and two-bathroom home has a BER rating of C1.

The second you enter the estate, you know you are somewhere special. The homes here in Killeens, between Blackpool and Blarney, are beautifully maintained, the neighbours are friendly, and the central green area has established trees.

Even though you are moments from the buzz of the city, it feels like you are really in the countryside.

Schools are within 2km, and the word to describe this home is pretty.

From the entrance hallway to the garden shed in the back, everything has been chosen by the current owners with care and attention.

The blue and grey pallet of the walls compliments the floors perfectly, and this colour theme runs through the downstairs, allowing one room to flow to the next.

This home offers the best of both worlds, the convenience of the city nearby but with a country feel, and is ideal as a family home.

As an added bonus, it’s on the No.225 bus route.

4. 25, St Mary’s Place, Cathedral Road, Gurranabraher, €250,000

This three-bedroom and one-bathroom home sits on a corner site so there is plenty of parking for two cars on the property.

Convenience is the key word for this home, which has a BER rating of D2.

It’s a ten-minute stroll to the city centre, and is on the No.202 bus route, with schools a few hundred meters away.

The house reflects the style of the 1950s, with a large footprint both front and back.

There is buckets of potential here, with a room off the kitchen which could be utilised as a dining room or a family TV room.

Perhaps the colour scheme might not be to everyone’s taste, but with an asking price of €250,000, a lick of paint isn’t too big an ask for this fine family home.
