There's been a steady through-put of house sales in Ballinlough’s network comprising Pic du Jer Park, Close and Drive: about 25 at least, according to the Price Register, and they’ve been steadily climbing over time up to, and over, the €300k price mark for the better presented examples of this semi-detached house style staple.

Coming to market, hot on the heels of a house right alongside on Cork's charming Ardfoyle Crescent in Ballintemple is a three-bed semi-d called Glenmore, and while dated, it's a charmer too, in its own right.

IT’S less than a year since the last detached family home in a great Beaumont Drive setting in Cork’s halo-ed and hallowed Blackrock hinterland came to market. 

Brian Olden and Jackie Cohalan of Cohalan Downing Auctioneers (CDA) say “it’s a high-quality property, with a wonderful flow to it, ideal for family living or entertaining.”
