On cul de sac in old Cork suburb

A CUL de sac setting, off the main Douglas Road, in Cork city, and a long garden, are key selling attributes of number 37 Endsleigh — a 1,700 sq ft, detached family home.

The 1960s-style, four-bed house (rock-solid, built by Timothy Cotter and next door to Regina Mundi girls’ secondary school) has a full-width, flat roof extension, which swells its floor area and living space. Given the site’s 160’ depth, and privacy, there’s scope to extend further.

Number 37 hits the summer market, competing in a segment with limited deal action — mainly because of funding difficulties, and the fact many aspiring traders-up need to sell first to buy again.
