Live life in the university quarter

DEEP in the heart of Cork’s university quarter, Dunkeld at Highfield Avenue in Cork city is likely to be eyed up by investors as this end of terrace Edwardian is just a stroll to UCC’s back gates.

However, the property is stunning, according to selling agent Kevin Murray of McKenna O’Donoghue Clarke, and would also be suitable as a family home. It was used as such up to a year ago, but has been let since then, but is in walk-in condition, the agent adds.

Sympathetically restored, it has four bedrooms, a modern kitchen addition and one ensuite bathroom, as well as a main bathroom.

Original tiles are still in the hallway and there’s a cast iron fireplace in the main living room, which also comes with cornicing and a mahogany floor. The dining room is directly behind and the kitchen, added on at the back, has solid ash units. To the rear is a small yard.

With replacement PVC windows, gas heating and a driveway to the front, this is a house that will suit two sets of buyers and Mr Murray quotes an asking price of €390,000.
