Good bet for trader-uppers in south city

A choice of two Cork city properties at around the same price: 30, the Maples, Frankfield, left, and Timariu at 27 Eagle Valley, Wilton.

A SOLID, four-bedroomed and a good location off the South Link road makes No 30, The Maples, Frankfield, a good bet for trader-uppers in the south city area.

Guided at €335,000, the house is in very good condition, says selling agent Malcolm Tyrrell of Cohalan Downing and Associates, and comes with an extra large corner site and a bigger parking area.

Accommodation is ample: there’s a formal sitting room, a family room/study and kitchen/dining room on the ground floor with four bedrooms on the upper level.

A guest toilet and ensuite master bedroom are included.

Meanwhile, over on the other side of the Link Road, at Wilton, Jarleth Boyd of HOK is selling another four-bed with a large garden.

This house, ‘Timariu’ at 27 Eagle Valley, is an end townhouse which has been carefully tended by its owners, he says. Accommodation is similar to number 30 The Maples, but there is full planning for a two-storey extension at the side.

It’s guided at €320,000.
