No need to muse, give this Mews at 3 your number 1

WHERE would you get a modern house with a good garden in the centre of Cork city? No 3 Friar’s Walk Mews.

This small gated development is a seven-minute walk to the city.

Built into a small site near the former Deerpark School, it has a mix of two-storey semis and dormer bungalows in a very low-scale and gated setting.

No 3 has a great position in one corner of the cul-de-sac and comes with an east/west aspect and garden. And what’s more, the house is a four-bed semi, with private parking at the door and is a modern, well-insulated and well-fitted home.

In fact, it’s turnkey and comes with a very good living room, a fitted kitchen in solid ash, a dining room with patio doors outside and four bedrooms with main bathroom overhead.

And the bedrooms are a good size too, with a bright, bay-windowed master which comes with en suite bathroom and two other double rooms.

The gardens wrap around the back and side of the house, with a sunny patio area at the rear and some nice planting. A good garden shed is also included and there’s direct access from the courtyard.

Somebody prepared to spend a few bob extra could easily build a west-facing sunroom extension onto the living room here and still have garden left over.

The guide price for this little gem is €380,000, through Jim Coughlan of James G Coughlan and Associates and he’s open to offers. Well worth viewing for those looking for a good house in a great location.
