Westview is off the suburban track

This Douglas house has all the essentials in place. Tommy Barker reports

PEOPLE pass by the entrance to Westview all the time, and don’t even know what sort of houses (if any) are past the row’s entry point.

The terraced townhouse are at the city end of the South Douglas Road in Cork, directly opposite an access/egress point to the south city link road — and the city centre is a walk away too, via Turner’s Cross.

Here in this low-key cul de sac is No 25 Westview’s a new market arrival with John Paul Sheehan of Lisney, who guides the mid-terraced three-bed at €215,000.

South-facing, it’s in at the very rear, near a green, with the St Finbarr’s hospital boundary behind and so is even quieter than many of its neighbours, while it’s also in very good order. Mr Sheehan says it will share an appeal to investors/first-time buyers and traders down.

It has all the essentials, such as off-street parking in front, rear garden with lawn space and storage shed, and rooms inside No 25 include sitting room and kitchen/dining room at ground floor level, with three bedrooms plus bathroom.

VERDICT: Neat, straightforward package, and so handily-set.
