Stylish four-bed near city

A NEW market arrival, on the city end of the Blackrock Road, in Cork city, is Number 7, a four-bed detached with long, tiered back gardens.

Painted cool-blue, and extended a decade or so ago with a rear, single-storey wing, No 7 is priced at €625,000, says estate agent, Timothy Sullivan. The house is a short walk from the city centre.

It’s in very good condition and has 1,400 sq ft of space – it isn’t on the large side, for those looking to trade up, but it makes up for this with its long back garden, up to 150’, and on three levels.
