Location, location makes Claremont very desirable

CLAREMONT is just the property prescription for Cork’s house-hunting medics and may be taken in hand by a trading-down doctor.

In the full of its health, the mature four-bed detached house is on salubrious St Francis Avenue, between College Road and Magazine Road.

This puts it within a few minutes’ walk of the sprawling Bon Secours private hospital, while even closer is the well-delivered new UCC medical and nursing building at leafy Brookfield House.

The extended home, in very good overall order inside and out, is priced at €725,000-plus by Dennis Guerin of Frank V Murphy auctioneers, who predicts very strong viewing interest and bidding to follow.

It faces west, on St Francis Avenue, with private front and back gardens and has about 1,800 sq ft of living space.

The ground level has hall, a lounge to the front with bay window, good fireplace and double doors to a dining room, which in turn has glazed double doors to a 16’ by 12’ family room, opening on to the rear garden with a set of French doors and glazed side panels for lots of light and rear patio access. The kitchen/dining area also in the extension has overhead double Velux windows, and there’s a utility and guest WC.

There are four overhead bedrooms, one with bay window.
