Charming older style three-storey on hillside setting

IT’s big, it’s private, it’s only an uphill trek from Cork city centre — and it has got a site alongside with outline planing permission for a detached bungalow as a bonus.

Up for sale once more after being withdrawn from the market last year is 3 Willmount, an older style semi-detached three storey house off Gardiner’s Hill in St Luke’s Cross.

Valerie Parkes of Sherry FitzGerald sought €325,000 for the property, but the first offer this week came in at over €360,000. She reckons that the site alone is worth about €125,000.
