Gracious family property has plenty of room

A HOUSE that has had substantial renovations completed in the last two years is now on the market in great condition, says its selling agent, Noelle Morrison.

Not instantly identifiable, mainly because it sits behind 10 to 12 foot high walls on Sunday’s Well Road in Cork, the property carries a guide price of €425,000.

Described as a gracious family home, this double-fronted, period property has five bedrooms, of which three are ensuite and long, southfacing gardens to the front.

Just a five minute walk to the city, but in a quiet residential area, the house is in superb condition, says Noelle Morrison and is an ideal family home, particularly for older children because someooms are so big, they could double as bedsits.

The high-southfacing aspect also ensures that any heat from the sun gets trapped inside the old stone walls, making the front rooms bright and inviting.

These are the living room and TV room, both with open, Victorian fireplaces and at the rear is a study and kitchen/dining room with maple units.

The master bedroom is huge and comes with a full bathroom: and there are four other bedrooms at this level: there’s also a guest shower room on the ground floor.

The house has had a new roof with old slates, it’s been re-wired, dry-lined and has gas heating - all a new owner has to do is live there.
