Hillside four-bed in straightforward area makes a good family home

SET in solid, straightforward selling land is 45, Rochestown Rise on the periphery of Cork city.

The four-bed detached home, within the mature hillside development going back to the '70s and '80s, is easy to reach from the city centre and all points east and west thanks to the nearby ramp on to and off the south city ring road.

It is on the market with Carol Harris of Property Choice auctioneers with a €565,000 and she is set for open viewings at the house from Monday, such is the demand for good trading up detached homes on this side of the city.

Location is in a mature cul-de-sac, says Ms Harris of this place which has been a cared-for family home to a growing brood of five children, and who are now trading up further.

However, for most other families or set-ups, 45 has plenty of space to go around.

It has a 23' by almost 12' lounge with open fireplace, kitchen/dining room, utility and guest WC, second reception or optional bedrooms at ground level, as well as four more bedrooms upstairs, one of which has an en suite bathroom, plus main bathroom.

No 45 has a compact front garden with parking off-street for one car, as well as a back garden with a favourable south-west aspect.
