Lofty Rochestown home is very well decorated and has two driveways

IF you want to march in the animals, or the family, two by two, then 44B Rochestown Rise in Cork city might fit the bill.

There’s a rise alright in the address: the house is set well up into this uphill 1970s/1980s development of cu-de-sacs near the Rochestown Road roundabout off the southern ring road, and even the house itself is set up above the internal Rochestown Rise roadway.

It has got two driveways for cars, one on either side of the front garden strip. Each can hold two cars, so there’s plenty of upward parking for a mobile family.

The house, called Enfield, is a four/five bed home owned by the same family of owners since day one when it was originally built.

According to estate agent Mark Kelly of CB Hamilton Osborne King, the house has been upgraded down the years.

It is very well decorated, ready to move into and ideal for a family trading up out of any of the Greater Douglas area’s myriad estates.

He guides Enfield at over €360,000, and accommodation for this price level include a sitting room, kitchen/dining room, office or fifth bedroom, guest bathroom and utility, and four overhead bedrooms.

All of the first floor bedrooms have built ins and the main bedroom has its own ensuite, plus there’s a family bathroom.

The house has an oak fitted kitchen, gas central heating and PVC double glazing.

Outside, there is a front garden and twin drives, and a back garden with patio, fish pond, two sheds and landscaped perimeter.
