Mature suburban property has great rental potential

APPEARANCES deceive, at least on the size front, at 2, Laurelville on Cork’s old suburban Ballinlough road.

Compact enough on the exterior, there’s actually 1,100 sq ft of internal space in the mid-terraced home, says Paul Fleming of Keane Mahony Smith.

He seeks offers over €235,000 for the three/four bedroomed house, which also has a good, decent-sized back garden.

Its flat, crazy-pave effect stone front isn’t the prettiest, but would be sorted with a skim of plaster, and the inside has been upgraded, says the selling agent.

Thanks to a box dormer at the back, the upper level has two bedrooms plus a shower room, while the ground floor has a long hall, living room with fireplace with electric insert, a 18’ by 10’ kitchen with sun room area off to the back, and also manages to squeeze in two bedrooms, one with an en suite bathroom.

Laurelville has gas central heating, aluminium windows, and a narrow strip of lawn in front giving a small set-back off the path and road.

The property is close to the GAA’s Pairc Ui Rinn, on a bus route, and with four bedrooms has good rental potential, says Mr Fleming.
