You can bask in the sun room of this immaculate three-bed semi

NO 2 The Avenue in Rockfield is up close and personal — it is just one of four houses in the estate actually on Church Road in Cork’s Blackrock suburb.

Rockfield is a surefire seller at the best of times, a well-built scheme by Lyonshall who have planning permission on the Ursuline convent ground nearby for hundreds of units.

Ready to move into though is 2 The Avenue, actually outside the estate and directly on convenient Church Road. It is a three-bed semi with a sun room added on behind to bring its size to about 1,300 sq ft.

Selling agent James Crowley of Keane Mahony Smith has it tipping over its €335,000 price guide and says the decor is immaculate and the exterior easy to keep.

Front and back gardens are cobble locked, with lots of mature planting and spreading shrubs in the rear garden, which also has a spot of lawn and a wendy-house/shed.

The sun room is a high ceilinged affair with wood sheeting and spotlights, Junkers floor and low sills, jutting into the attractive gardens, and double doors link this room to the dining room.

The kitchen has painted units and a wood floor, and the same sort of wood floor also features in the hallway, while the front 14’ by 12’ sitting room has a carpeted floor and simple white marble fireplace, with gas insert.

Two of the three bedrooms are doubles, one’s a single, there’s an en suite with shower and a bath in the main bathroom. The house has gas central heating, an alarm, off street parking for two cars, nicely proportioned double glazing, and a front facade mostly in mellow brick with some dash and there’s a tiled porch roof for shelter at the front door.
