Several choices of four bed detached homes

- BY SORCHA CROWLEY

Those of you looking for a four- bedroom detached home have plenty to chose from in Sligo at the moment with several new properties fresh to market.

3 Temple Manor in the village of Ballinacar­row is one such property coming on the market just a few weeks ago with Sherry Fitzgerald Draper.

Just off the N17, 15kms from Sligo town, Temple Manor is a quiet estate of family homes. The house itself stands on a large site with ample off street car parking to the front overlookin­g a green area and an extra- large rear garden laid out in two sections: a lawn garden area and then a separate decking area which is gravel ( thus maintenanc­e free) along with a garden shed.

The home is delightful­ly spacious and has been lovingly maintained and cared for by its current owners over recent years.

You enter the front door into the double height entrance hallway which is light- filled and airy.

The sitting room has an open fireplace and french doors to the back garden. The heart of the home in the kitchen/ dining room is spacious with a large utility and downstairs toilet. Upstairs, there are four bedrooms ( two with fully equipped en suites) and a family bathroom. It’s on the market for ¤ 165,000. A four- bedroom bungalow with mature landscaped gardens closer to Strandhill will cost you double the price.

‘ Le Darren’, Kilmacowen is a well maintained owner- occupied home on a large mature elevated site of 0.6 acres approximat­ely 8km from Sligo town. It has a fully fitted kitchen and dining area with a pine ceiling.

There is a utility, four double bedrooms ( one en suite) with wooden flooring and built- in wardrobes, family bathroom and study.

The large garden to the front and large south facing back garden make this an ideal family home. It’s also got dual central heating of oil and back boiler and extra insulation with the cavity walls pumped in 2010.

There is a Stira Stairs to partially floored attic for storage.

Auctioneer­s Tommy Brehony has put it on the market for ¤ 320,000.

In Sligo town itself, a clever investment option would be a six bedroom detached dormer bungalow at 17 Cleveragh Road.

It’s situated on a private site with ample car parking to front and a large rear garden with patio and detached block built shed.

Although in need of some refurbishm­ent auctioneer­s Sherry Fitzgerald Draper say this property offers “great potential to be a fine family home” thanks to its proximity to all amenities including Sligo race course, Londis Shop, swimming pool/ sports complex, Cleveragh Park facilities and of course Sligo town centre which is well within walking.

Features include pine ceilings, wooden staircase, original fireplaces, two large windows in a white kitchen, spacious landing/ lounge area upstairs and large bedrooms. Definitely worth a look at ¤ 180,000.
