Period terraced home on the Old Blackrock Road with a hint of Italy

WITH the coming launch of townhouses, duplexes and apartments at the old Rochelle school site in Cork, expect there to be lots of “property market vibe” about the benefits of the Old Blackrock Road as a location.

There are just a few more weeks to go for the upper-end of the market scheme by O’Callaghan Properties’ scheme to come on stream.

For those who can no longer wait, or who value older properties and original character, Number 2 Sorrento Villas offers an alternative. Built around 1902, the house is mid-terraced, three-storeyed and pitched at the €435,000-plus price bracket.
