Sweet and small with a dash of colour

SWEET and small, this house is really a little gem and its cheery yellow walls and bright blue door just add to the effect.

Step inside number 3, Convent Avenue and you enter a cool, cream house that’s made for two, or at a push, three.

Convent Ave is a quiet little road leading off Cork’s Sunday’s Well which has a very democratic mix of big and small houses. Number three is one of a row of single-storey’s that hasn’t yet been converted into a two-storey.

The layout is simple: to the left is the main living room, (with gas fireplace) and this leads through antique folding pine doors to the kitchen. Fitted on two sides, it’s a really bright room with double doors leading to a perfectly formed back garden.

At the other side of the main hallway are the home’s two bedrooms: bedroom one faces onto the street and the master bedroom has a deep window overlooking the rear garden. Sandwiched between both sides is the bright bathroom.

Tim Sullivan is the agent here and says the house is like an apartment with a garden, and, of course, your own front door. He is looking for offers in the region of E250,000.
