One of those rare sales

HOUSE hunters won’t have any problem finding this Glasheen, Cork city house - it’s an easy one to spot with its eaves-high cordyline palm almost bang up against the front door.

No 9 Glendale Road, off the Glasheen Road in Cork’s inner western suburbs, hit the market at the quiet Christmas spell and is coming out of the holiday doldrums with bidding set to start from €250,000, according to Jarleth Boyd of CB HOK.

This semi-detached house with side garage conversion has, as a result, four ground floor rooms in all, with a guest loo off a back hall, it has three first floor bedrooms plus main bathroom, and its back gardens are mature and enhanced by a high old stone wall.
