It’s hotting up in the city’s western suburbs

EXTENDED to the rear and with up to six bedrooms, 50 Rossbrook on Cork’s Model Farm Road is a banker for trader-uppers in the western suburbs of Cork city.

The home of a fastidious owner, the property has been tweaked and extended, says Beth Lawlor of Property Choice, and is set in a private, cul-de-sac location.

No 50 is also fitted with broadband and Sky and has an architect-designed sun room at the rear which provides a bright living space of 20ft by 14ft. And, as the house is east/west facing, it has the perfect orientation to get light all day long.

The room list will tick a lot of boxes for would-be movers:, including a living room and dining room as well as a study which also doubles as a sixth bedroom.

There’s solid oak flooring throughout the reception areas and the kitchen has a comprehensive range of units, including a breakfast bar. It comes with a fitted utility which gives access to the rear garden.

Overhead, the master bedroom comes fitted with mirrored wardrobes and bamboo flooring, the latest in hard-wearing, sustainable fittings.

All of the four other bedrooms are fitted with the same materials and all of these rooms are doubles.

There’s a fully walled garden at the back and a block-built shed and plantings include a rockery, shrub beds set around a patio and sunken barbecue area. And that’s without mentioning the hot tub.

Ms Lawlor has already received an offer of €680,000 on no 50 and is looking for more in excess of that.
