Affordable semi in salubrious suburb

A GROWING family is pushing the boundaries at 16 Delford Drive — so the owners are trading up before baby no 3 arrives.

The three-bed semi, built in the early 1990s, is just off the Rochestown Road in Cork, in a well-established suburb on the edge of Douglas village, and close to the city south ring road.

No 16 Delford Drive is on the market with DNG Harris’s Douglas office, which is seeking offers over €305,000, which makes it one of the more affordable modern homes in Rochestown. Detached houses across the road now typically sell for €1 million.

Neighbours in Delford Drive, though, will be a bit easier to keep up with, and the accommodation at 16 is relatively typical for the construction era.

It has a hall, front living room with fireplace, kitchen/dining room, three bedrooms and a main family bathroom. There’s off-street parking, fenced front garden and a good-sized back garden, with scope for extending the house if required.
