€600,00 guide for luxury Lindville

THE Lindville development on Cork’s Blackrock road continues to mature, and the memory of the original building company’s collapse five years ago has faded for most buyers.

The scheme of over 60 Victorian-styled houses has appreciated hugely in value since then, so that even those left short when the firm folded, were quids-in from the moment they had paid their deposits.

A number of houses were left in varying stages of undress, and in some cases, sites were subsequently sold off and matching houses completed, so there’s not much finishing off to do now to this luxury estate.

A gate lodge is also being finished off, built in period style (though timber framed) and once it’s completed, the development will have a very settled feel.

Up now for resale is a three-storey, five-bed, semi-detached house at number 41 Lindville, which was one of the homes taken in hand for finishing off by the purchasers - now the vendors. Selling agents are Cahalane Skuse, who are looking for offers around €600,000 for the 2,050 sq ft house.

It has a high quality interior, with a large living room off the hall via French doors, and an open-plan breakfast room off the kitchen with garden access. The kitchen comes with maple units and granite worktops, there’s a utility, guest bathroom, and overhead on the next two floors are five bedrooms, two with en-suite bathrooms, and main bathroom.

No 41 has gas central heating, PVC sash-style, double glazed windows, an alarm, and while it doesn’t have the expected front garden, it has off-street parking. and walled-in back garden.
