A place to park your boys’ toys

IF mere sheds are the must-have toys, hide-outs and domestic dens for boys, then the garage at this house will have most males going into raptures — or so its selling agents hope.

Newly up for sale, No 116 Mervue in Cork city’s Ballyvolane is an extended three-bed semi-d, with a rear garage measuring over 30’ wide and 15’ deep — big enough for three cars, note agents DNG Kevin Condon, who seek offers around €255,000 for the lot.

That’s great news for a careful car owner, restoration enthusiast, or other hobbyist. It could be a gym, a home office, a play room — or just a garage.
