In Montenotte with full planning for an extension

A STEP or three above the standard finish marks number 24, Springfort Crescent out from the norm — and its buyer could as easily be a trader-up as a trader-down.

For older buyers, there’s the sort of look and decor that will appeal to anyone bringing ‘the good furniture’ with them: it is already furnished in this style, with attractive, old pine pieces, and well-chosen antique and period items — yet without sacrificing modernity or comfort.

The four-bed, semi-detached house in Cork’s Montenotte has 1,300 sq ft of quality living and sleeping space, so there’s enough space for smaller families.
