House of the week

THERE’S going to be serious viewing interest in the Edwardian semi-d called Lynton, going by the early signs — phonecalls from the moment a sale board went up, as well as the impact of a very similar house sale a few doors away earlier this year.

This 1905 period semi-d is on Cork City’s Cross Douglas Road, and carries a €450,000 asking price, more or less because that’s what the neighbour got, according to the National Price Register.

Back in November we profiled a red-brick similar vintage house called Glenville in this slot: it came under very heavy viewings, and sold rapidly for its down-sizing owner. It had had a guide of €395,000, but according to the register made €451,000, such was the wind in its sails. Building renovation/rear extension work has already taken place on Glenville.
