HOUSE sales on Cork’s Melbourne Road are few and far between, so a new offering through James G Coughlan and Associates should draw some interest.

FORGET about the doom and gloom — what about the knock-on effect?

A FOUR bedroomed house, with a substantial extension to the rear, is on the market at €420,000.

NO 9 RICHMOND, part of the Elmvale estate in Wilton, Cork is a bit of a bargain when you consider the house’s detached nature and proximity to CUH.

A HORSESHOE of houses off Coach Hill has the official townland designation of Monsfieldstown, but is better known by its Rochestown address.

MINUTES from Cork city centre, Rosehill is a tidy, infill estate off the Old Blackrock road and almost directly across from the South Infirmary.

HIGH-GLOSS kitchens are still rare in the re-sale market, but at number 81, Brightwater, you get that and more.

SIMPLY smashing inside, this three-bed semi at Fota Rock, Carrigtwohill is on offer at the stamp duty cut-off point of €317,500.

THE Acre, on the Boreenmanna Road, thinks big and why wouldn’t it? It may have a site that doesn’t quite live up to the name, but at 100’ by 60’ it’s huge by city standards.

WHILE the name might raise an ironic smile, Prosperity Square is a hot property location which errs more on the expensive, rather than the expansive size.

ONE of the most in-demand estates in Carrigtwohill in Co Cork, Rocklands is a 69-house development which was built to a high standard about seven years ago.

FANCY a nice big Christmas present and a sweet deal into the bargain? Then Conor Lynch of James G Coughlan and Associates might be the man to contact.

VERY discreet and tucked away off the Model Farm Road, Highfield Lawn is not just the entrance driveway to the million-euro enclave, Court Cairn, but a desirable residential location in its own right.

COPPERHILL houses always attract huge interest and the latest sale here is no exception, says Joe Gavin of James G Coughlan and Associates.

NEAR the cross river ferry at Cobh, and with a road and rail connection for commuters, 47 Chandlers Walk is also good value at the asking price of €175,000.

THIS is an unusual house in a number of ways: first off, it’s got a third of an acre site in the middle of an old suburb, Beaumont, and the original bungalow plan has been significantly tweaked to create a one-off in the city’s most coveted location.

A SUN-trap of a garden and a position half-way between the city and Douglas makes this house at 17, Alderwood an attractive proposition for purchasers.

THERE should be any number of takers for this detached house at 2, Drumcora Mews on Cork’s Blackrock Road.
