Welcome to the modern village

ONE of those seminal developments, the Noel Parkes Kensington scheme in Rochestown, Co Cork, was the height of fashion in the 1970s and probably marked the rise of the village as desirable suburb just a few miles from the city.

Now No 33, Upper Kensington is on the market with Malcolm Tyrrell of Cohalan Downing and Associates for offers in excess of €300,000.

A three bedroomed, detached bungalow, it’s just a few minutes from the new commercial centre at Mount Oval, and a brisk trot to Douglas.

Accommodation includes a lounge, kitchen, dining room, utility, guest loo and three bedrooms.

Number 33 has a corner site and comes with mature gardens that are not overlooked.
