Large side garden designed to accommodate extension

THIS house was built to accommodate a future extension, and, as a result, has the largest side garden in the development.

Given the 33' width of the side garden of number 5, The Meadows, Ard Cashel, Watergrasshill, Cork city, the builder has facilitated a future owner, ensuring the house can be easily extended: he has installed an RSJ steel girder, so that the gable wall can be partly knocked.

The Cork city house was finished two to three years ago, and this is one of the first of the 129 homes in the development to be resold, says estate agent Mark Gosling, of James G Coughlan Associates.

Mr Gosling says the three-bedroomed 'semi' has an asking price of €300,000, and says it is well-finished. The house two interconnecting receptions, with a fireplace in the front one and garden access at the rear via the patio doors.

Accommodation on the ground floor includes a kitchen with integrated appliances, and a guest WC off the hall.

On the first floor are three bedrooms, one with an en-suite bathroom, plus the main bathroom with Jacuzzi bath. The house has gas central heating and double glazing.
