Home a bit out of the ordinary

A GREAT, bright west-facing extension lifts No 4, The Terrace near Crab Lane national school in Cork a bit out of the ordinary — and brings its floor area up to 1,230 sq ft.

The 1970s/80s-built two-bed home is a new market arrival, at a shade under the €300k mark, with a €297,500 AMV quoted by agent Timothy Sullivan.

Setting is just off the Boreenmanna Road by Páirc Ui Rinn, and the narrow Crab Lane links up to the Blackrock Road at its other end by the African Missions. Either main road makes for an easy enough walk to the city centre, or a two-minute spin by car to the south city link road.
