Location and ‘a bit off the sides’

DATING back to the mid-1900s, and in need of some updating, Glenstal has location, aspect and ‘a bit off the side’ in its favour.

The latter is a former hairdressing salon, built onto the attractive-looking four-bed semis and for which planing permission was granted.

This gives the house, on Cork’s Magazine Road, a bit of an edge: it may suit someone with a private office/surgery/treatement rooms practice, an investor looking to rent bedrooms to students (€100 per room is being achieved for student accommodation), or it may appeal to a family buyer.
