House that offers the best of both worlds

DE-CONVERTED is the term used by auctioneer Tim O’Sullivan to describe this once four-bed but now three-bedroomed house at 7, Abbotswood Avenue.

A modern semi, (it’s about four years old), the Abbotswood scheme is a low-key, low-density estate on Monastery Road in Rochestown, Cork.

Close to Rochestown College and with lots of wooded countryside around, this is a green yet still urban location for growing families.

The south link road is a couple of minutes away and the newly opened Mahon Point is another nearby attraction.

Number 7 comes with top quality wooden floors, and carpets and blinds are included in the sale. The guide price is €335,000.

The 16’ by 12’ sitting room has a bay window and an arch into the 21’ by 13’’ kitchen/dining room, which comes with a bank of units and a breakfast bar. A separate utility is also fully plumbed.

Upstairs, the master suite is a large, L-shaped space, (not surprising as it would have been two bedrooms), with en suite and fitted wardrobes. The rest of the floor has two double bedrooms and a main bathroom.

The grounds are in good condition and the house has gas heating.
