One ‘El’ of a garden

THE long back garden will be the clincher in the sale of ‘Eldon’ — at 120 feet it’s perfect for families and means extensions won’t eat into the house’s long green piece of ground.

Located at Laburnum Drive, Wilton — the property is close to Cork University Hospital — as the crow flies it’s just over the wall.

A classic three-bed, it also comes with an attached garage and a wide side entrance, so there’s more than enough room for enlargement.

And it has the most gorgeous, stained glass door case, protected by a glass entrance porch.

On the market with Jarlath Boyd of Savills HOK, for offers in the region of €485,000, the house is also slap bang in the university quarter and so, should draw considerable interest.

The ground floor includes a terrazzo and timber floored entrance with guest bathroom. The main reception room has a bay window, ceiling coving and a marble/mahogany fire surround.

The separate dining room, (there’s scope to knock through), is 11’ 5 x 12’ 7 and has a westerly aspect — again, French doors to the garden would open up the space.

The kitchen, meanwhile, is fitted in pine and has a good range of wall and floor units.

Finished with a tarmac driveway, the side entrance is gated and Eldon is also alarmed and comes with gas heating.
