Willowbank home an affordable option

THERE’S not a lot of trading up options within the relatively affordable category in Cork’s Blackrock suburb - and, in fact, until the new Ursuline Convent development (mostly apartments) steps into gear early next year, there’s precious little anywhere in the area to buy.

Satisfying the needs of those looking for a larger or detached home right away is 106 Willowbank, a 1980s-built Bradley Brothers home in a development off the popular Church Road.

Most of the estate is of three and four bed semi-detached houses, so it stands out just a bit from the neighbours to begin with.
