Description
An exceptionally well-located family home in one of Rochestown?s most sought-after residential developments. This attractive four-bedroom semi-detached property extending to approx. 1,280 sq. ft over two levels is situated in the mature and highly regarded Abbotswood development in Rochestown, offering an ideal combination of space, comfort, and convenience. Presented in excellent condition throughout, the home is perfectly suited to first time buyers, growing families or those seeking a turnkey property in a prime suburban location. The house was constructed in 2004 as part of the original Abbotswood development, a carefully planned residential scheme renowned for its family-friendly layout, generous green spaces, and strong sense of community. Built in the traditional block built era the choice of building materials used in the external elevation includes mellow brick, terracotta tiles, smooth plaster with feature arched windows. Homeowners invested heavily in landscaping from the beginning meaning Abbotswood now presents as a very mature scheme despite its short life. No 9 boasts a C3 energy rating.
