Cul-de-sac ideal location close to two local schools

AN infill development of a small crescent of houses in Bishopstown has the kind of location that you only pass if you live there.

It's a deliberate cul-de-sac access to the Kenley estate below it and a rat run to the Model Farm Road, has been cut off with grassy verges and the inhabitants of The Crescent live happily without traffic.

An ideal location, it's right in the centre of everything and good schools are a short walk or drive away. Just two weeks on the market, number 13, The Crescent is a detached, five-bed with asking price of €455,000 that's been bid to €460,000.

For sale with Denis Guerin, of Frank V Murphy and Associates, it's in really good condition.

The ground floor has a main lounge of 17' by 13', a dining room with double doors to the kitchen and a family room: also included are a utility and guest bathroom. The upper floor has a study/office, a master bedroom with dressing room, one ensuite bedroom, another double room plus one single bedroom and a main bathroom. Stira stairs lead to the attic which has been floored and has plenty of storage space.

The sale includes a detached office of 13' by 13' which comes with a WC and heating.

Just down the road a bit, the same agents are also selling number 46 Central Avenue in Firgrove, one of those Bishopstown addresses that always sell well.

This four-bed semi has an asking price in excess of €390,000 and comes with south-facing back gardens. Rooms includes a sitting room, living room, breakfast room and an oak fitted kitchen. The first floor has four bedrooms and the house comes with two bathrooms.
