A bird’s eye view of city from this home

UP on the hills overlooking Cork city, houses in St Christopher’s Drive have a strong demand, and usually sell quickly.

Peter Cave of HOK is selling a four-bedroomed house here for offers in excess of €275,000.

With many of its early 20th century features, (a high mahogany firesurround with tiling) the house has space and a sense of tradition.

Basically, there are two main reception rooms, an entrance hallway with terazza flooring and an extended kitchen with utility and guest cloakroom.

One of the four upstairs bedrooms has the benefit of the bay with runs from first to second floor and a second bedroom has a cast-iron fireplace. The main bathroom comes with three-piece suite and shower.

Number 11, St Christopher’s Drive also comes with a garage, fuel store, outside WC and has a walled-in garden to the rear.
