Suburban home awaits new owner

WITH location in spades, and the spade work done in terms of recent foundation under-pinning, a three-bedroomed house on Cork’s keenly-valued Farranlea Road is ready for new owners.

The mature three-bed semi, in good overall condition, just needs decorative work in new ownership, says selling agents Frank V Murphy Ltd.

Many Cork homes in the western suburbs and Douglas have subsidence difficulties, and this place has had terra firma firmed up once more underneath with underpinning work recently done, says auctioneer Dennis Guerin.

With an east-west aspect, it is at the lower end of Farranlea Park, just off the Model Farm Road, and close to Victoria Cross, the County Hall which is going to get a major multi-million euro makeover, and is within easy striking distance of UCC, the CIT and the University Hospital and Bon Secours hospital as well.

The corner house on a good site has a €275,000-plus price guide with the agents, which should easily be met and exceeded on location grounds alone.

It has two good sized reception rooms, kitchen, a garage towards the rear and the back of the house holds out good extension possibilities which intending owner-occupiers will certainly look at.

This property has PVC double glazing, gas central heating, off-street parking with a garage and front and back gardens.
