Plenty of room for a family

IN the most understated way, Noelle Morrison Properties describe Ard na Cille as ‘exceptionally nice’.

And it is, just five minutes from Patrick Street, this house at 15 St Joseph’s Drive is made for a family.

With some lovely fireplaces, one with a copper hood and thirties over mantel, two living rooms and an extended, Shaker maple kitchen, there’s also the option of taking more room from the attached garage. Upstairs the attic could also be converted, say the agents, and there are two good double bedrooms and a single on the first floor.

One of the big attractions with this house, apart from it’s accessibility to Cork city, it’s the large rear garden and terrace. This is heavily planted and at the front there’s a smaller lawn with hedging and drive-in.
