BEFORE, Roycourt would have been a banker for an investor buyer, but a change is underway in the house market close to UCC.

Roycourt is a large detached, just-extended house with five bedrooms, but scope for even more bed space, which is up for sale on the Magazine Road in Cork’s inner western suburbs.

With 12,000 students at UCC less than half a mile away, up to now this would have been a cert for an investor, who would change all non-essential ground floor rooms into bedrooms, calculate a rent per room and go bidding on the basis of guaranteed income.
