Move fast as this smart order semi is sure to attract plenty of interest

No 55 Clarke’s Wood in Rochestown, priced at €270,000, has plenty to offer an appreciative first-time buyer, says Tommy Barker

Houses in good order in Clarke’s Wood, in the Mount Oval scheme in Cork’s Rochestown always sell well, and here, No 55 is set to follow the trend.

A smart order, owner-occupied three-bed semi with good interiors, it’s priced at €270,000 by agent Clare O’Sullivan of Savills who says it’s likely to be bought by an appreciative first-time buyer.

It’s in a corner setting in the lower section of the development, and has an above-standard interior, with a nice bright L-shaped kitchen/dining/living room to the back, measuring 22’ by 17’ thanks to the rear protrusion. Kitchen units have granite tops, there’s a guest WC, one en suite, and main bathroom. A high surrounding wall gives extra privacy to No 55, which has a sweep of cobble lock drive, side garden passage and decent back garden.

VERDICT: No 55 is ready to go, in a popular selling location, so don’t hang around.
