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.
