In Montenotte with full planning for an extension
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.
For traders-up, there’s full planning permission for an architect-designed rear, two-storey extension, plus into-the-attic conversion, and so would suit the needs of a growing family. As the grant of permission is recent, a new owner will have several more years in which to work on the extension (and save up for it, too.)
The asking price is around €385,000, via auctioneer Mark Gosling, of James G Coughlan & Associates, who says it is “fair value for a very, very high quality house.”
Extra above-standard touches put in day one, 14 years ago, by the owners include solid maple floors practically throughout the ground-floor, antique, cast-iron fireplaces in both the front 14’ by 12’ sitting room and the rear family room with patio/garden access, while the kitchen/dining room has maple units, and some old pine seats and furniture, worth making an extra bid on.
The hall, guest WC, and utility all have maple floors, giving a continuity of finish and look, while, upstairs, the boards are in pine.
One of the four bedrooms is en-suite, with a tiled shower, and the main bathroom has a cast-iron antique bath with shower units.
A true walk-in job, number 24 has off-street parking in front, faces a green, and, at the back, the rear boundary is a high, old stone wall with climbers up it, while a birch tree is a notable recent planting. There’s side access to this garden, which also has a Barna shed, with power supply.
