Blackrock terrace with charm factor

A long back garden with organic vegetable section with fruit beds, in a cul de sac setting off the Blackrock Road by the grounds of the Ursuline Convent, plus the Marina for walks — the arrival of No 3 Glandore Avenue for sale makes for an attractive property purchase for singles or couples.

That’s according to selling agent Michael Downey of ERA Downey McCarthy, as he puts the handily-set and upgraded townhouse on the market seeking offers around €175,000. Buy soon, and you could be harvesting strawberries in time for Wimbledon.

These terraced houses were built around a century ago for workers in the grounds of the Ursuline Convent, and now a number have been significantly extended, some with very contemporary additions.
