Trading up: St Francis Avenue, Cork €450,000

A FANTASTIC extended and hugely upgraded semi-d around the corner from this detached home called Westlands is currently under offer in the mid to upper €600,000s — and that shows the quality of the location.

No 7 St Clare’s Avenue near the Bon Secours off College Road went for sale in February guiding €780,000 via agents Davis Hunter, and has been viewing gently as one of the best refurbs on the southern market.

Now, brand new to market and carrying a €450,000 AMV with Timothy Sullivan Associates is this four-bed detached of 1,700 sq ft, with a couple of older style extensions giving scope for an optional fifth bedroom at ground level.
