Well located house is a solid investment

ALWAYS in demand and always a good seller, the Firgrove/Central Avenue houses are generally regarded as fine, solid houses.

And they’re well-located close to schools and Cork University Hospital, which means there are always buyers ready for a property here.

On the market this month, Denis Guerin of Frank V Murphy and Co is selling number 43, Central Avenue, Bishopstown, Cork for offers in excess of €415,000.

This is a four-bedroomed semi with a south-facing back garden and also has a garage conversion and a conservatory to the rear.

The reception hallway has a solid oak floor (the parquet was standard in these houses), and a cloakroom with access to the sitting and dining rooms.

The kitchen is fully fitted, with separate utility and there’s a shower room in the partially converted garage. Four bedrooms are overhead and the attic has a Stira stairs - always handy. Dual heating is installed and the gardens are generous, back and front.
