Residence with spectacular views of city

MOVING up in the literal and social sense — that’s what’s on offer at 5, Shanakiel Court in Sunday’s Well where one house in a group of just six on Strawberry Hill has just come on the market.

And, selling agent Humphrey Moynihan of Countrywide Homes, has already got an appointment list to view this four-bed detached on the high south-facing hill near the Old Women’s Jail in Cork.

There are many venerable old houses in Sunday’s Well and usually they fetch a premium, but with Shankiel Court you’re getting a new house in an old area.

Number five has incredible views, says Mr Moynihan, and they are even more pronounced at night. Built to modern standard and with top quality fittings, the rooms include two interconnecting receptions and good-sized kitchen with a very generous utility. This area also includes a shower room, and on the upper floor there’s a huge attic bedroom 18’ by 11’ and an ensuite master bedroom as well as one other single and double room, plus bathroom.

Number 5, is very low maintenance with its mellow brick and PVC windows and the rear garden has been entirely paved: a storage shed here is built in matching brick.

The house is fully alarmed and comes with oil heating.

Countrywide Homes are looking for offers in the region of E500,000 for Shanakiel Court.
