Bird’s eye view of Eagle Valley apartment

A TOWNHOUSE in Cork’s Eagle Valley is for sale, with the vendor departing after a few years of habitation.

The vendor of number 56, Eagle Valley in Wilton, is an airline pilot about to buy a New York apartment; hence, the sale of the three-bedroomed townhouse. From the Wilton suburb into Cork’s airport is less than a mile as the crow flies. Built ten years ago, Eagle Valley has grown: the latest extension, paralleling the ring road, is the O’Brien and O’Flynn scheme of apartments and townhouses, Garran Dara.

For number 56, which is well-maintained and conveniently placed by the entrance to Eagle Valley and near to bus stops, Peter Skuse, of Cahalane Skuse auctioneers, has an asking price is €335,000.

Accommodation includes two reception rooms, kitchen, three bedrooms and a bathroom, and will appeal to owner-occupiers and investors.

“Don’t expect this one to be around too long. It will probably be sold before we hear the cuckoo,” he says.
