Prime location, surprise garden

IN a valuable rental location, slap bang in the University/College of Art quarter of Cork city, number 7, Vicar’s Street is now up for sale through Noel Hornibrook of Harris Properties.

Priced at €280,000, the house comes with 5/6 bedrooms and, unusually for an inner-city property, has a back garden with greenhouses and potting sheds.

The age of the house is indeterminate and, according to Mr Hornibrook, is at least 100 years old. However, some of the properties on this street can be date back over 300 years and predate St Fin Barre’s Cathedral which is close by.

In a quiet location off Barrack Street, and just a walk to town, this house is in good condition and comes with new PVC windows and gas heating. Rooms include a lounge kitchen/dining room with units and a separate dining area.

There is a bathroom at ground floor level and another on the first floor, along with three bedrooms and two further rooms on the second floor.
