Trading up: Well road, Cork €295,000

THE name curiously, is Curraheen, but this little beauty of a four-bed semi is on Cork’s Well Road. A banker of a property location.

And fitting with the old adage that the day you buy is the day you sell, this is a location that’s always a good bet, even in the current market.

Within a shout of the major cathedrals of commerce on the southside, this house has a 75ft rear garden which means plenty of playing around room.

It’s on the market at €295,000 through Cohalan Downing and Associates and includes period features like picture rails, high ceilings, ceiling rose and ornate fireplaces. The property is an ideal family home and is competitively priced for a quick sale, says Malcolm Tyrrell.

The layout provides a study, living room, dining room, kitchen, utility and guest bathroom on the ground floor and four bedrooms with a main bathroom overhead.

And the sale includes lovely mature gardens and a detached garage.

VERDICT: You can’t go wrong with a four-bed in the Douglas/ Blackrock axis and there’s plenty of room to extend here.
