32 Tí na Rí, Cosmona, Loughrea, Co Galway

118 Blackcastle Demense, Navan, Co Meath
This three-bedroom C2-rated semi is on the market in Navan, a vibrant Co Meath town within commuting distance of the capital. Although this home could do with some modernisation and a cosmetic refresh, there is nothing to stop you from moving in straight away and making upgrades as you go.
Overlooking the development’s open green area, the property has a livingroom, an open-plan kitchen-diner and an understairs loo on the ground floor. There are two double bedrooms and a single bedroom upstairs – the main is en suite – as well as the bathroom. The attic conversion is a great feature of this property, offering a work-from-home space separate from the comings and goings of the rest of the house. The property also benefits from a good-sized back garden and a driveway and lawn to the front.
Blackcastle Demense is on the Slane Road, within walking distance of Blackcastle Shopping Centre and the amenities of Navan town centre. It is a 45-minute drive from Dublin city and the bus from the town takes about an hour to reach O’Connell Street. This semi-detached home is for sale through REA T&J Gavigan, seeking €275,000.
