No 1 for corner boys — and girls

Described as a walk-in job is the corner-set home at 1 The Ferns, within the Foxwood development in Cork’s Rochestown/Garryduff suburbs - and, a new national school is a walk-in job across the road. 

The c 900 sq ft townhouse is semi-detached, with each of its two upper level bedrooms en suite. Add in a ground level guest loo, and it’s all pretty much plumbed and provided for. No 1 is on the market with agent Cian O’Donoghue of DNG Creedon in Douglas, who gives a price guide of €205,000 and who extols its pristine presentation for sale, rightly describing it as immaculate. It’s got a high-gloss kitchen, with contrasting dark wood sections and pale tiled floor, and has garden access via double doors - while the said garden’s a good size, with side gate access.

The hall has a contrasting small black and white tile finish, with guest loo off, while the main living room is a good 17’ long, and about 10’ wide, with inset solid fuel stove in the fire surround. No 1 The Ferns scores a decent, B3 BER and has combi-boiler, gas-fired zoned central heating.
