Join the line-out for No 50 - next door is Munster Rugby’s Musgrave Park

THERE’s a few line-outs and scrums of viewers locking heads together, at open viewings this week and early this afternoon at 50, Pearse Road, next to Musgrave Park’s rugby pitches and grounds.

The older-era end terrace house, No 50, is one of a three in a row – a front row, so to speak – yet the setting, as a shoulder-rubbing next door neighbour to Musgrave Park, is about to change as a brand new home is to be built in what was No 50’s old side garden and garage.

Estate agent Jeremy Murphy guides No 50 Pearse Road in Ballyphehane at €195,000, and he previously sold it just a year ago (making €140k according to the Price Register) to a builder/buyer who’s done it all up and is set to build anew after this top-to-toe renovation.
