Lily pond home could be a nice pad

Charleville, Co Cork €190,000

ALILY pond, appropriately, graces the grounds of this Victorian home called Church View, near the Holy Ghost Church in north Cork’s Charleville.Set within the town, detached and on a reasonable sized garden foran urban setting, the four-bed old home with real internal character carries a €190,000 asking price, via Charleville town-based agent PJ O’Gorman.

Due to its location, he bills it as a trophy residence, though in truth if it’s a trophy, it is in need of a polish and then some more ministrations to get it back to winning order.It’s set along the old Limerick Road, within a walk of all the amenities (Charleville now has four supermarkets, a SuperValu, a Dunnes, an Aldi and a Lidl).Limerick is about a 30 minute spin, and Cork is about 45 minutes away. Mr O’Gorman says the site is both mature and private, sunny with a good mix of trees and shrubs, with a 27’ by 8’ garage as a bonus.
