Suburb where plums fall quickly

A PLUM property falls in time for mid-season buyers looking to trade up in Cork’s western suburbs.

On the Curraheen Road, midway between Bishopstown and the new interchange for the Ballincollig bypass, no 39 Halldene hits the market with a guide of €590,000 through Billy Casey of Casey Kingston

And considering there are always buyers waiting in the wings for Bishopstown houses, this should be a swift sale.

An exceptional, four-bed semi is how he describes the house which has had a kitchen extension as well as a garage conversion. The garage is used as an office space, but comes plumbed for an en suite bathroom and could make a fifth bedroom or teenagers room.

The main drawing room is 20’ by 12.5’ and is a very attractive room with solid oak floor and cast iron fireplace. Behind it, the family room has a similar style, but comes with bespoke double doors in Edwardian style leading through to the kitchen/dining groom. This is a large space, with sliding doors to the south-facing garden, and comes with a bank of fitted units: it measures 22’ by 12’ and has access onto a deck at the rear. Overhead, there are four good bedrooms and a main bathroom, with fitted wardrobes in two rooms. The garden is an attractive and private space with patio and deck and there are sensor lights fitted to the front and rear.
