Well kept home with perfect garden

There’s plenty to admire in this three-bed Silversprings bungalow, Tommy Barker reports

For anyone into sitting out in the back garden for a bit of peace and quiet, and a cuppa, the rear of 7 Ashmount, in Cork City’s Silversprings, might fit the bill. The semi-detached three-bedroomed bungalow is smart on the inside, and its back garden is simply treated, but with a tiered end to the back, full of colourful bedding and some fruit bushes behind timber divides and gravel. And, to enjoy it all, there’s a paved patio with seating space by a low retaining wall, by a shed, with timber fencing for screening. There’s also side access, and off-street parking in front.

Internally, No 7 has all the signs of a well-kept home too, kept up to date, and with one of its three bedrooms en suite into the bargain, where there’s a shower, while the main bathroom has a shower in the bath.

The attic is part-converted and has great additional scope, says estate agent Mark Gosling of Jeremy Murphy & Associates, who seeks offers of €179,000 for No 7. Current floor area is 900 sq ft.

Other accommodation includes a good-size living room with open fireplace and bay windows, and a kitchen/dining room.
