Extended detached house in the suburbs is ideal place to expand

A LARGE, extended detached house at 54, Halldene Estate, in Cork city, is perfect for trader-uppers, says its selling agent, Michael O’Donoghue of McKenna O’Donoghue Clarke.

On the edge of Bishopstown and right next to the Link Road, the location is good, he says, with CIT and CUH within walking distance.

Number 54 comes with five bedrooms and a range of reception rooms and has a guide price of €485,000

One of its best features is a large, corner site with very private and manicured gardens. High hedges screen the house from the road and at the back, it’s not overlooked: there’s also a good side garden.

Number 54 has plenty of space inside too, with the lounge, a family room, a kitchen and separate breakfast room.

A guest bathroom is also included. The upper level has five bedrooms, with two in the newer extension, along with a bathroom and three on the other side of the house, also with a bathroom.

The garden has a brick shed and the house has central heating and an alarm.
