Lindville homes show some appreciation in value
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.
Some houses were incomplete, but the driving property market ensured that those with stage payments made, were not left at a loss to finish their houses. These, more than any other houses in the city have created a tidy profit for those who’ve invested here.
No 46, which is towards the back of the development, has rooms spread over three floors and is also slightly larger than its counterparts, having been extended at the building stage.
The ground floor provides a range of reception rooms with different floor levels used to mark the changes. The sitting room has double door access from the hallway, and at the back of the house are the kitchen/dining/family rooms which run into each other and are ideal for a family.
Two of the five bedrooms are en suite, and along with one other double room are on the first floor, with two further bedrooms and a bathroom on the second floor. There’s also a guest bathroom off the main entrance hallway and a utility off the kitchen.
Outside, a large driveway has room for two cars and the back garden has a good patio with a walled-in boundary and security lighting. The gardens are mature and well planted.
No 46 has a footprint of 2,200 square feet.
