Cherrygrove, pick of the week

THE previously extended, four-bed semi-d at ‘Cherrygrove’, 6, The Rise on the edge of Cork’s Bishopstown has an asking price of €390,000.

Hugh McPhillips of Marshs auctioneers calculates the floor area at 1,990 sq ft. So, although it needs some modernising, and it is always tempting to use the corner site and attached garage for further extending, there’s already plenty of space on offer here.

The Rise is situated off the start of the Waterfall Road, near the south ring roundabout that adroitly splices city traffic for routes to Bandon and west Cork, and to Macroom. The NRA has allowed preliminary works on two ring road flyovers to relieve peak time congestion – though full funding may rest with the coming Budget.
