Get a leg up with superb walk-in near city centre

IN more ways than one, No 2 Palmgrove is a walk-in job.

First up, it is within a handy walk of Cork city centre, but comes with a Douglas address and setting. It is a modern 1980s interloper within the 1950s Ashdale estate, just off the south Douglas Road.

And, it is also in walk-in condition, much improved upon by its owners of the past six years, who are returning to live and work in Dublin. They were, firstly, attracted by the location when they came to Cork city. When they saw the space and clever layout of this deceptive four-bed house, they immediately plumped for it. It will do that “pleasant surprise” thing again now for the next occupants.
