Gate lodges full of character

The gate lodge to the former Rochelle School is on the market at €395,000.

FULL of character and on the Blackrock side of Cork city, two gate lodges are up for sale at the moment. The first is no 3 Gate Lodge on Church Road in Blackrock, on the market with Don Murphy and Co, fully renovated and comes with two bathrooms, both tiled. This semi-detached four-bed also has a 30’ by 30’ garden, and has a guide price of €339,000.

The ground floor rooms include a generous living/ kitchen area, a utility room, a bedroom and bathroom. The upstairs has three more bedrooms and a bathroom.

Meanwhile, the original gate lodge to the former Rochelle School is still on the market at €395,000 through HOK Savills.

A two-up, two-down, the property will need renovation but has bucket-loads of character. Brick and stone-built, it will need quite a bit of investment and it’s likely new owners will also want to add on. So, not cheap at the price, but then, it is just minutes from town.
