Modern semi-d makeover

A GOOD, light modern makeover has been given to 41, The Rise, a four-bed semi-d in Cork city’s Bishopstown suburb.

Just off the start of the Waterfall road and near the south city ring road, the smartly and slightly extended family home has 1,500 sq ft of space, including the attached garage: the main extra bit added on to date has been a small, rear south-facing conservatory.

Carrying a €430,000 asking price with agent Johnny O’Flynn, he says it is one of the nicest family four-beds on the market in the area right now (they’ve a five-bed detached on the Curraheen Road just gone over its €580,000 asking price in swift competitive biding), and has as an added bonus a neatly-tended south-facing back garden.
