Berghof: A little bit of country in the city

BERGHOF is the unusual name given to a three-bedroomed semi on Cork’s Model Farm Road.

Just past the Inchigaggin junction, this house is on the edge of the city’s greenbelt.

There are just three properties close by and the house has been well-cared for by its owners, says Paul Reid of Sherry FitzGerald, who give a guide price of €325,000 for the property.

And, while it’s in the country, it’s still just a walk to all the amenities of Bishopstown. The accommodation includes a south-facing, lounge/dining room, separate utility, three bedrooms and a main bathroom.

Berghof also has an attached garage, which could convert, and a long front garden with a patio area to the rear.

The boundary here also has the benefit of lovely old trees, part of the Wood estate, which surrounds the houses at the rear.

Strict planning guidelines in this area of Cork mean the property is unlikely to ever be overlooked, or crowded.
