Phoenix takes flight as property goes on market

PHOENIX House is aptly named in at least one respect — like the bird coming from the ashes it is about to rise again, albeit on the property market.

Phoenix House, also known as number 47, is one of the attractive, older style houses on the way in to Marble Hall Park at the start of the Douglas Road in Cork before St Finbarr's Hospital.

It last changed hands only a year or two ago (one of just a handful of sales in the past decade), and the current vendors installed central heating last year, but an amount of appropriate modernising is still to be done.
