High-spec, three-bed semi-detached in well-regarded Cork city estate

No 27, Brookwood has a pretty back garden with decking and barbecue, says Tommy Barker

HAVING done all they could to No 27 Brookwood, a three-bed semi in Cork’s Ballyvolane, the owners are looking to move up the property ladder — and are keen to sell close to their €189,000 price tag, via agent Matt Fallon.

He’s just listed the 1,100 sq ft house in this well-regarded estate, where’s he’s heading for the half dozen or so re-sales mark.

What you don’t see from the front is the private back garden, not overlooked from behind either, and it has a good raft of decking, pergola for climbing plants and a barbecue area, with a virtual gangplank of extra decking, then leading further down the, garden path, towards a handily-placed garden shed.

Internally, the spec is high, with a good cast-iron fireplace in the front, 17’ by almost 12’ wide main living room with bay window. Doors internally are in walnut

Behind, the kitchen/dining room is 18’ by 12’, so again there’s a sense of space, and a new energy-efficient, A-rated gas burner for the central heating has been fitted here.

Upstairs are three bedrooms, with bathroom. Location-wide, No 27 Brookwood is near shops, schools and is on a bus route as well.
