Spacious Douglas home with added family value

A SEMI with extras is a short synopsis of accommodation at 25 Ardmahon Estate in Cork city’s Well Road area.

The 1,300 sq ft is a three-bedroom semi, but with the advantage of two converted attic rooms open to a range of uses, from stores to office and more.

And it has also been added to downstairs at the back with a compact sun room put on off the back living room via an arch. Even the kitchen, with its bank of solid maple built in, has a little bit of lean-to add-on, with overhead Veluxes. Essentially, every inch of space has been maximised, and the back of the house opens onto a raised deck from two access points.

No 25 Ardmahon is for sale with Johnny O’Flynn of Sherry FitzGerald, who give an AMV of €495,000. He says it is going to tick all the right boxes for many families looking to get into “old” Douglas and the Ballinlough hinterland.

It has a secure front garden, a detached garage used as a utility, a Barna shed, and not only is there plenty of play area around the back, there’s also a way through the back boundary to a large public green, reckoned to be a safe spot for children to roam around.

The house has had lots of work already done to it, so a new owner can move in, or have grander ambitions. The location, just off the Well Road, is spot-on, and the area is well served by schools, shops and services.
