Four-bed close to CIT and UCC

HOUSE sales on Cork’s Melbourne Road are few and far between, so a new offering through James G Coughlan and Associates should draw some interest.

One of those consistent sellers, this 1970s-built estate has a great location in Bishopstown, close to CIT, UCC, the Model Farm Road and Curraheen (soon to see a number of new hospitals). These houses, which were seen as quite American when built because of the design and open-plan gardens, are also very spacious.

No 19 Melbourne Road is a semi-detached four-bed with big gardens front and rear and the potential to extend into the garage and is on the market at €525,000.

There’s an entrance porch leading to a staircase hallway and onto a lounge, separate dining room/lounge, kitchen/breakfast room, with utility and a downstairs bathroom.

The upper floor has three double bedrooms and a single room, with a main bathroom.

The 17’ by 19’ garage offers conversion potential, but as it is, No 19 is a good size and perfect for a family trading up, especially those with third-level students.
