A little gem down at Tiffany’s

You might still get a bit of slagging about the address, but at this stage it’s water off the backs of the residents of Cork’s Tiffany Downs — they just love the location.

The 1980s development of semis and townhouses in rows of four is just off the Bishopstown Road, entered opposite Hawkes Road.

Up for sale is No 68, within the inner swirl of homes around a small green, while just a few hundred yards as the crow flies to the south is the Dunnes Stores roundabout/flyover, and South Ring Road.

Pitching the 880 sq ft three-bed, mid-terraced house at €178,000, estate agent Johnny O’Flynn of Sherry FitzGerald says it’s as suitable for empty nesters and traders-down as first-time buyers.

No 68 has off-street parking next to a graveled shrub bed, and a west-facing back garden which is largely paved and graveled, with shed and patio. Inside, there’s a 14’ by 11’ sitting room with fireplace, a rear kitchen/dining room at almost 17’ by 11’, and upstairs are three bedrooms, two doubles and a single and a bathroom with shower.

VERDICT: A neat package, in a quiet cul de sac.
