Endsleigh home is convenient

THERE’S going to be strong interest in 9 Endsleigh in Cork’s inner Douglas suburbs - it’s all down to the convenience factor.

The four-bed semi with about 1,450 sq ft of space hits the market with a €435,000-plus price guide, and even though it needs a decorative and modernising input on top of this, bidders won’t be put off.

Endsleigh, built in the 1960s by Timothy Cotter, who also built much of Melbourne in Bishopstown across the city, has less than 100 houses in all, and part of the estate is taken up by the Regina Mundi girls second level school.

No 9 is in a corner setting, facing a green, on a triangular-shaped site, with south-facing back garden, and investment to date has included PVC double glazing and gas central heating.

Accommodation includes hall with parquet floor, lounge and family room each with fireplaces with electric fires, a kitchen/dining room plus utility and a guest WC. There are four first floor bedrooms, main bathroom (no en suite) and pull down stairs to the attic level.

There’s an adjoining garage, which adds to this house’s extension/alteration potential, space likely to be called upon by new owners who will almost certainly be traders-up looking for a handier location for growing families.
