Hidden gem in attractive location

UNLESS you lived there, you’d hardly know of Chestnut Grove. It’s a little cul de sac of detached houses near CIT, but tucked away behind the main Cork IT college campus, near the tennis courts.

Close to the amenity walk through Murphy’s Farm, No 23, Chestnut Grove is on the market with Sheila O’Flynn of Sherry FitzGerald, which is seeking offers in the region of €365,000 for the four-bed detached, which also comes with an attached garage.

The house had been let for a number of years, but its in surprisingly good nick and room sizes are good.

It comes with a west-facing back garden bounded by a high limestone wall at the rear and the front is bounded by a good green space, as No 23 is end of row.

A good family home, it has off-street parking and the garage offers great conversion potential. It comes with a rectangular living room, a connecting dining room, and well-fitted kitchen with double doors outside and access to the garage.

Overhead, there’s a master suite to the front, a large double and smaller double to the rear and a box room overlooking the drive. The main bathroom is off the landing and there’s a guest bathroom on the ground floor.

The location will be very attractive to families working in the area, or with students at CIT, as the main campus is a two-minute walk.
