Choice of two in Glasheen Park

NOT one, but two Glasheen Park houses, in Cork city’s inner suburbs, near UCC, are for sale.

Numbers 8 and 11, Glasheen Park, give buyers a choice, in a choice location.

Facing one another across a through-road, they are single-storey two/three bed semi-detached bungalows, with good back gardens and room for expansion and upgrades. The location, close to amenities and services, makes upgrade spending a good investment. Interest is likely to come from aspiring owner-occupiers.

Number 11, an executor sale, is new to market with auctioneer, Kathleen O’Shea, who quotes a €300,000 AMV.

With gardens front and back (west-facing), and a detached garage, there’s space outside as well as inside. The house is set up as a two-bed, but one of the two reception rooms could be used as a bedroom, while there’s also an option to extend into the attic.

The nearby Lough is a location marker and popular walking spot, while also nearby are shops, schools, UCC, the Bon Secours hospital, and the city centre is an easy walk away.

Also in Glasheen Park is number 8, a similar-sized (c 1.045 sq ft) single-storey house, with a feature bay window in the front reception room. It also has porch and hall entrances, three bedrooms, bathroom with cast-iron bath, separate WC, and a kitchen/diner measuring 18’ by 15’, with utility and garden access. Agents Sherry FitzGerald seek €335,000; there is a lean-to secure car port and good gardens.
