Surprising amount of space in quiet suburban location

AN understated location tucked off the Model Farm Road, Kenley has a mix of houses in an area that’s accessible to schools, shopping centres and Cork city’s main institutions.

Properties here are large, mostly semis or detached, and they come with great maturity in a quiet setting between Model Farm Road and Bishopstown. There are green spaces aplenty and the estate has the kind of suburban seclusion that appeals to families.

No 4 Kenley Road is a five-bedroom detached house on offer with TJ Cronin of Irish and European at the moment and the house has a surprising amount of space. There is almost 2,500 sq ft available along with a garden of a fifth of an acre.

This detached house has a lot going for it — it has a brand new kitchen, a range of living rooms and five bedrooms with a smattering of smaller rooms.

The main sitting/dining room is 26’ by 14’ and runs back to front, and the den has similar dimensions. There’s a lounge/family room followed by a kitchen/diner of 21’ by 14’ with fitted utility and the ground floor has a guest bathroom/ shower room. Upstairs, there’s an en suite master bedroom, along with four other bedrooms, one of which includes a study area.

The house sits on a mature site and has a cobble driveway with plenty of parking.

The rear is private with lots of trees and shrubs and backs onto another estate, Cherry Grove.

The guide price is in the region of €685,000 and TJ Cronin is open to negotiation.
