A four bedroom detached house located at Tooban Upper, Burnfoot, overlooking Inch Island and the Swilly was offered for a minimum of 50,000 euros and although it was advised the property was “shell and core and in need of internal completion/fit out” it actually sold for 152,500 euros. Another four bedroom house at Largy outside Killybegs, with spectacular views overlooking Donegal Bay, was being auctioned with a reserve of 90,000 euros and was sold for that price.
And a four bedroom semi-detached property at 5 Churchview Street, St Johnston, which overlooks the River Foyle, and started at 40,000 euros, sold for 55,000 euros. In North Inishowen a detached four bedroom house at Chapel View, Templemoyle, Culdaff, was offered at 60,000 euros and despite the last bid being 60,000 apparently remained unsold.
