Trading up: Bishopstown, Cork €285,000
It’s name is 6A Model Cottages, but it could be called Doppelganger Court because it’s a copy of a pretty run of cottages along Cork’s Curraheen Road.
And, it has all the joy of a cute cottage without any of the drawbacks associated with older houses and renovations. Built in 2003, it’s a detached house in a great location with plenty of room and a rear courtyard garden, with off-street parking and low maintenance finishes.
Close to CUH and CIT, the house is essentially open plan with some lovely features, says TJ Cronin of Irish and European.
At a guide of €285,000 a buyer looking for a finished product won’t be disappointed. Room sizes are good with a lounge of just under 19’ by 16’ off the main entrance hallway, and a good fitted kitchen is 11’ by 12’. Flooring is maple and the lounge has an open fire.
The bedroom wing includes three good rooms, all with fitted wardrobes and polished wooden floors and surprisingly, all are double rooms, and the master bedroom is en suite. The main bathroom is fully tiled, includes a shower area, and has access to the attic.
Best of all, the courtyard at the back is south-facing and finished in cobble-lock surface with shrubs and trees.
Great spot.
