Suburban home offers convenience of city living

THE urban sprawl stopped over 100 years ago in Montenotte, Cork, which means if you move here you can expect the neighbourhood to remain unchanged.

A long haul uphill on shank’s mare, it’s nevertheless a five minute drive to the city and it’s high south-facing position makes it a bright and airy location.

‘Ivernia’ at 22 St Christopher’s Road, is a 1930’s semi in 2004 condition. Gleaming polished floors run through the interconnecting living rooms and the kitchen is in a light oak. The extension at the rear allows room for a utility and the converted garage at the side provides a study or playroom.

Three bedrooms and a bathroom are overhead and the house comes with a west facing garden and a cobble-lock driveway to the front.

The guide price is €375,000 and the selling agent is Malcolm Tyrrell of Cohalan Downing.
