Sorting out Cork people for ages

There’s not likely to be a shortage of viewers for this three-bed detached house at 85 Kilbrody in the always-popular Mount Oval development.

Tommy Barker on the many plusses of No 70 Kilbrody on a very popular Rochestown development.

Tommy Barker says it’s sunny side up for this detached large corner site property with architect-tweaked sunroom in Mount Oval Village.

Rowan Hill homes seem to be on a bit of roll, and No 26 is a prime example, says Tommy Barker.

This 2000-built family home makes full use of all of its square footage, writes Tommy Barker.

In the ever popular Mount Oval development in Rochestown, this two-bed, mid-terraced house at 44 Clonlea is new to the market with a guide of €250,000.

The proposed €180m Cork-Ringaskiddy motorway will have a devastating impact on some properties, especially in the Rochestown area, according to concerned residents.

Residents and major industries in Ringaskiddy are united in their opposition to the proposed M28 motorway route as it will sever the Co Cork harbourside village.

Objectors to the proposed €180m Cork-Ringaskiddy motorway say it would split communities, cause increased physical and mental health problems, reduce life expectancy, and significantly devalue their properties.

Objectors to a proposed €180m motorway in Cork have been given less than three weeks notice to prepare a case against it.

Likely to tick boxes for investors, first time buyers and traders down, the well-kept former investment property is guided at €310,00 by Michael O’Donovan of Savills.

Got an issue? Ask Audrey...

Trish Dromey says this mid-terraced two-bed in the desirable Mount Oval in the Cork suburb of Rochestown will be a popular choice.

Residents in a Cork City suburb have said they may ultimately seek a judicial review over plans to develop a motorway from the outskirts of the city to Ringaskiddy amid claims they were not properly consulted.

“You can feel the love,” enthuses Florence Gabriel, the selling agent of this three-bed end-terrace home.

Former Munster and Ireland rugby star Frankie Sheahan has been declared bankrupt in the High Court, owing over €1m.

I see there are huge rows about building flood walls around Cork City Centre. Do you know if these walls will stop the lower orders from fishing in the river? 

Prime space in Mount Oval Lawn is surely set to yield several sites, writes Tommy Barker.

The name, Oval Top House, makes it sound like a table... but, as anyone who knows his or her Rochestown in Cork might suspect, this is the real sweet suite of options to dine out on.

Three development sites worth up to €30m have been put for sale in Cork City and suburbs.

The Munster economy could suffer if the proposed new Cork-Ringaskiddy road isn’t completed by 2023.

It is hoped that revised plans for a €180m road between Cork and Ringaskiddy will ease the fears of some residents’ associations who expressed major concerns with the initial blueprint when it was launched in October.

New house developments have come a-plenty to the area around Clarkes Hill and Garryduff in Cork’s Rochestown: there may have been as 2,000 homes built in the last few decades ‘round Mount Oval, since the time Hill House Cottage itself was built on its own plot.

Dormer houses in Cork’s Landsborough scheme, by Bride View Developments in the 1990s, were always steady re-sellers, popular with families looking to trade up, and with several house types and sizes within it to suit varied budgets.

A good starter home, in a great location — so says estate agent Florence Gabriel as she joins Sherry FitzGerald in Cork, and lists 2 Rowan Hill at a €210,000 price guide. 

Home hunters looking for a bit of rural privacy and an individual home in an area as popular as Cork’s Rochestown should consider getting themselves to a monastery — or, at least, to Monastery Road.
