Three storeys in the perfect spot to tempt investors

AHEAD of their time for the 1980s, the houses at Wilton’s West Lawn made best use of space by building upwards.

Height is now back in fashion yet again, as land prices are so high and every inch of housing plots so valuable. However, when West Lawn was built it had as a bit of a novelty factor with two floors of bedrooms.

Up for sale is 4 West Lawn, a four-bed end of terrace Wilton home with a €255,000-plus price guide quoted by agents Hamilton Osborne King in Cork.

It is a stone’s throw to the Sarsfield’s Road roundabout and ring road, and the Wilton Shopping Centre and CUH area few minutes’ walk away via an overpass bridge.

Interest in no 4 will come from two camps, first time buyers who can rent out a room or two to help the mortgage burden, and investors eyeing up a four-bedroomed rent roll.

Rooms include hall, sitting room, kitchen/dining with rear garden access (there’s also side access), and two bedrooms on each of the two overhead floors, all with built-ins, and with the sole bathroom at first floor level.

The property has gas heating, double glazing, parking in front and is on a bus route.
