Lodge your claim of interest in perfect home or business

JUST released this week is an imposing residence with a prime corner site on College Road and Highfield Ave in Cork.

With six en suite bedrooms, parking space for four cars and in the middle of the University quarter, this house could have residential and commercial use.

Bramley Lodge has been totally refurbished from top to bottom and has gas central heating.

Access from College road is through a covered pergola. The rest of the quite substantial grounds include lawns, flower beds, trees, shrubs and a fish pond.

Entrance is off both roads and access to the house is via a high, glass porch to the side.

All of the Victorian elements of this house have been preserved where possible. The drawing room of 17’ by 18’ has an original fireplace and cornices with a deep bay window onto the front garden. Double pine doors lead to the dining room which has a Victorian fireplace.

The kitchen and breakfast rooms are both generously sized and the breakfast area is made cosy by a Stanley cooker. Built in shelves at either side finish the look and like the main hallway, the floor is oak.

The kitchen has pine units with Belfast sink and a large pantry.

The bedrooms are spread over the upper floors, with three on the first floor, a bedroom and a bathroom on the second floor and two remaining rooms on the third.

Bramley Lodge is for sale through Billy Casey of Casey Kingston who gives a guide price in excess of 750,000 euro for this completely renovated property.

Bons Secour Hospital and UCC are literally across the road.

and just off the golden mile of B&B’s at Western Road, this property could be eyed up by a large church of viewers.

At present, it‘s used as a family home and judging by recent sales in the area, the demand for quality homes here is quite strong.

However, with its layout, it could pay its own way as a quality guest house.
