One for all the family

FANCY being in clover, with a 1,600 sq ft home by Cork’s Skehard Road, for €330,000?

Extended out in several directions – up, at the back and to the side on two levels – No 36 Clover Lawn is a family home new to the market with Sherry FitzGerald, who calculate the overall floor area at 1,640 sq ft.

The semi-detached home has its en suite master bedroom and dressing room up on the right hand side over the 28’ by 12’ deep kitchen/dining room, while the main portion of the house has two good bedrooms, and shower room. The owners (now making a move to a country property) opened up the landing, removing a single bedroom here, and this could easily enough be reinstated, says auctioneer Ann O’Mahony.

Downstairs, the front door now opens directly into an opened-out 16’ by 14’ living room, with lounge behind, which in turn opens via double doors to a lean-to sun room with polycarbonate roof.

The house (minus a ground floor loo or separate utility room) has also been boosted a bit up into the attic, with permanent stair access, but this handy, multi-use extra 15’ by 13’ space (with west-facing Velux at the back) isn’t part of the quoted 1,640 sq ft of space, says the agent, who reckons the owners added about 600 sq ft to the basic house structure in all.

No 36, she says, is a walk-in job, near the SuperValu on Skehard Road, with Blackrock/Mahon, Beaumont and Douglas all nearby.
