A mature vintage

This three-bed home is close to amenities, Tommy Barker reports

There’s a very accessible location to the family three-bed home Avondale, at 24 Slieve Mish Park — you can walk to Cork city centre via Turners Cross, or spin by the 203 bus. The mature three-bed home of 1,110 sq ft is a bit of a box ticker for agent TJ Cronin of Irish and European, as it is upgraded and redecorated, has a sunroom, two reception rooms, and the kitchen’s a good size, too.

There’s an attached garage with conversion/extension scope, off-street parking, a small front lawn, and a nice back garden which is south facing. Plus, there’s side access to the back garden.

It looks and feels quite fresh for its mid 1900s vintage.

No 24/Avondale has a €220,000 guide quoted by Mr Cronin, and at that sort of level a first-time buyer could happily park themselves, get ensconced, and leave any extension and further bathroom plans to a later time when funds get replenished.

Slieve Mish is a cul de sac estate arranged in a block off the Curragh/Kinsale Rd near Woodies, Tory Top Rd, Musgrave Park, an Aldi, and Cork City FC’s home ground.

VERDICT: A nicely settled area
