Spacious family home in ideal location close to many facilities

A NUMBER of the solid semi-detached houses in Cork’s Tramore Lawn have had relatively recent upgrades and extensions, but these mid-1900s builds are — or at least were — big enough for large families.

That’s the case with Sidmar, a right-hand side semi-d, facing west on this axis road that links the main and back Douglas roads, a quarter of a mile from the village’s burgeoning amenities and redeveloping big shopping centre.

Back a few decades ago, this house accommodated a family of seven or eight children, including a set of triplet girls and a bunch of hardy boys. Will its c 1,600 sq ft of space, with gardens fore and aft, now be enough for a new, presumably smaller, family of occupants?
