Plenty of potential in large estate house

Thas five bedrooms, but also has the possibility of six, and that’s the sort of thing that might bring investors to the fore in bidding for 34 Rossbrook in Cork.

The location is off the Model Farm Road, in an estate finished around 1990 and no 34 is on a corner site which gives it a curved high-walled patio area to the side, in addition to a front garden and compact enough rear garden.

This house has been owner-occupied from day one and well looked after by its growing family owners, who are heading out to a more rural setting near Waterfall to try their hand at country living.

On the market with Ann O'Mahony of Sherry FitzGerald, it has a 400,000 price guide and by way of comparison, McKenna O'Donoghue Clarke have another larger five-bed with rear extension currently under offer in Rossbrook heading up to its 430,000 guide price.

Rossbrook was built by O'Flynn Construction who have their own offices nearby, and also to hand is the CIT, Tennis Village and LeisureWorld swimming pool complex and gym.

The County Council also has offices nearby, and several new student accommodation developments are being built nearby to cater for a growing student population at the CIT. This house has five first floor bedrooms, one with shower room en suite, and has a study/sixth bedroom to the left of the entrance hall.

When built initially, this house had its kitchen extended out the back, so it is close to 1,600 sq ft in size, with two ground floor reception rooms plus study/bed 6, a good kitchen dining, guest loo, utility and has PVC wood grain glazing.
