€550k Ballinlough home with tennis court-sized garden 'a home for life'

Its approximately 90 feet (27.5 metres) long back garden is proving a key selling point.“We’ve had a very busy uptake on this home for sure — when you have a back garden the size of this and with this aspect you can expect a lot of interest,” points out Garry O’Donnell of ERA Downey McCarthy.It is pretty much a given that new owners will want to significantly upgrade and update, 1953-built No. 6 Beechwood Park in Ballinlough with its BER of G — a stroll in the neighbourhood shows glossy front doors, fresh facades, and extensions galore.“It is a structually sound house: underpinned and certified in 2008, and whether people just want to modernise or add on extra square footage it’s definitely a home for life,” adds Mr O’Donnell.This property may be eligible for Vacant House & Deep Retrofit Grants subject to successful application.
