Contemporary creature comforts on Military Road

DONE up during last year for ultimate re-sale, no 13 Military Road is none the worse for this: in fact, it has been re-done with a professional approach to appeal to a wide cross section of buyers looking for contemporary comforts in an older house. And, in a settled, older area too.

The terraced house is on Military Road, a continuation of Military Hill, so it’s up close and personal to Collins Barracks in Cork, which puts it pretty much on top of the city and its hugging hills. You can get to it via Wellington Road/St Luke’s Cross, with its village like range of services, or up and around via St Patrick’s Hill, Audley Place and the Old Youghal Road and when you’ve made the climb, you’re at home in comfort.

It has been redone from top to bottom, so there’s a new roof and insulation, damp-proofing and re-wiring, it has gas central heating, German-made tilt and turn windows in timber to match the sash-look, a walled in neat front garden for screening, and a private back garden, facing west for afternoon and evening sun.
