Four-bed semi in popular city suburb

DON’T let your house search be a fruitless one: up for sale with Lisney’s Cork branch is this mature four-bed semi in popular St Christopher’s Road, Montenotte, called St Jude’s — after the patron saint of lost causes.

Set up above the revamped Country Club hotel, now the Montenotte Hotel with 110 bedrooms and 19 holiday apartments set for launch, the attractive mid-1900s St Christopher’s estate is within a short walk of St Luke’s Cross and a longer stroll to Cork city centre.

Guided at €450,000, St Jude’s is on a large corner site and has an attached garage.
