Semi in ideal suburban location

A BIT on the dated side, but with enough going for it in terms of location to justify lots of upgrades, No 3 Woodleigh is a bit of a banker of a sale, even in a slow market.

The four-bed semi, with a double front, is off Cork’s Bishopstown Avenue, to the back of the CUH hospital, and close to amenities in the Wilton, Bishopstown and Model Farm Road areas of Cork’s western suburbs.

It stretches to about 1,400 sq ft, with a garage and utility area of a further 300 sq ft, and carries a €600,000 price guide with Valerie Parkes of Savills Hamilton Osborne King.

Greenery clambers up over the front facade and along the side of the hall/porch door, and proportions are “generous,” according to the selling agent.

Highly extendable, subject to planning, it has lots of features of its mid-1900s era, including Terrazzo floor in the kitchen, picture rails, fireplaces, and wood floors.

The road at Woodleigh is quiet, and there’s a good mix of schools and sports ground nearby, while No 3 has a south facing back garden, with some decking off a sun room as a hint of the way to go.

Rooms include hall, family room, living room, sun room with French doors to the deck, kitchen/dining room, utility with sink, WC, and four overhead bedrooms, two singles, two doubles, plus main bathroom.
