Lindville homes show some appreciation in value

HOT on the heels of the sale of 40, Lindville, (agreed at around €800,000), comes 46, Lindville, its neighbour and a near-identical property on Cork’s Blackrock road.

While No 40 hit the ground running at €750,000 in June, No 46 is being pitched at the value now set by the former. Huge demand for this, one of the most desirable of Cork’s addresses, should shunt the sale along nicely and Peter Cave of HOK is quietly confident of a quick conclusion.

With a design taken from their older, Victorian neighbours on the Blackrock Road, the Lindville scheme was designed to an exacting standard from the start. Decorative, carved barge boards, double-glazed sash windows, natural slate roof tiles and other expensive extras drew in the buyers, but also resulted in the original builder going into liquidation almost five years ago.
