Second chance to purchase

Tommy Barker reckons small is beautiful in a city centre two-bed semi.

IF you missed out on the bidding burst last year to buy 53 Capwell Avenue, your luck is in. Having gone ‘sale agreed’ in rapid order in 2006, a deal which subsequently didn’t close for a (resolved) technical reason, this fine and dandy example of ‘the best goods coming in small parcels’ is back on the market.

The semi-detached two-bed house a mile from Cork’s city centre and just above its ‘link-road,’ which connects the effective ring road to the city core by City Hall along a former railway line, has just as much chic charm and contemporary character.
