Peace and quiet in a mature area

LANDSCAPE PARK is another of those discrete locations in Cork city: mature and with some lovely, detached houses, it’s within a brisk walk of the city and five minutes from the Lough.

At a guide of €350,000, Aylesford, a three-bedroomed house in Landscape Park, is ideal trading-up material or it may suit a first-time buyer.

Off Pouladuff Road, it has lots of period features and a huge site that would allow new owners to extend.

Aylesford has a lounge, family room and kitchen/dining room with 9’ ceilings and picture rails, as well as three double bedrooms and a bathroom.

It is in need of considerable modernisation, says Jean Shanahan of Harris Properties, but just look what you could do with a house and site like this.

Despite the cliché, houses are very rare to market here and it’s bound to bring in the buyers. The site and the detached nature of the house, as well as the quiet, private area, are the key to this sale.
