Bailieborough houses are 'priced to sell'

Prices in the energy-efficient Hawthorn development in Bailieborough have now been slashed from their initial launch price of €199,500 to a far lower price starting from €99,950 for a three-bedroom townhouse. Developers, Mano Enterprises, told The Anglo-Celt they "have taken this exciting decision so as to provide first-time buyers with an incredible opportunity to own their own three-bedroom home". Local auctioneer Peter Murtagh and Mano Enterprises are handling the sales where the properties offer value to those who have shrewdly, or luckily, waited till these recessionary times to invest in houses. The Sheelin is a three-bedroom semi-detached house or townhouse, with a living room, double doors into the kitchen and dining room and a downstairs WC. Upstairs provides a good sized bathroom and three bedrooms with the master bedroom having an ensuite. With all properties having tarmacadam driveways and good sized gardens, and with additional parking available, these homes offer the purchaser an excellent opportunity to buy at prices that haven't been seen for about a decade. The energy-efficient homes come complete with wood pellet boilers, heat recovery systems and offer a B1 energy rating. All homes come standard with kitchen, tiling and sanitary ware, and all walls and ceilings painted. See www.hawthorn-homes.com and www.petermurtagh.ie.
