Large semi comes with four bedrooms

IT isn’t quite a vision yet, but Soubirous on Cork’s south Douglas Road has a lot going for it, especially its location.

Soubirous, named after the French visionary saint, St Bernadette Soubirous of Lourdes and Nevers, is an older style and quite large semi, with four bedrooms and a good back garden, within an easy walk of Cork city centre.

It is on the market with a price guide of €450,000 quoted by Nicola Murray of Frank V Murphy & Co auctioneers, who stresses its sheer convenience of location, just on the city side of the Cross Douglas Road and with the south city link and ring roads within a short strike.

The house, a wide semi, is south facing, with a side garage and a good stretch of garden to the back, with off-street parking on the sloping driveway.

It has kept some of its older, original features, but also has gas central heating, aluminium windows and has two reception rooms, one with bay window and fireplace, the other sized 17’ by 10,’ as well as a dining room and kitchenette, and the ground floor has a guest WC.

Overhead, there are four bedrooms and a family bathroom.
