Rochestown, Cork €295,000

A bright cheerful interior, with lots of reds and whites and all easy on the eye, comes with 7 Abbotswood Avenue.

A three-bed semi-d with rear sun room extension, it’s got a decent 1,300 sq ft now and is guided at €295,000 by its estate agent Glenn O’Connor of DNG Creedon, in nearby Douglas village.

No 7’s in a cul de sac section in the Rochestown development, which has a mix of very large detached houses, terraced townhouses in a square up on the top of the hill site (above Monastery Road) and two avenues of semis. Mr O’Connor describes this semi-d as spacious and stunning, tastefully decorated and ready to move into.

The rear sun-room/conservatory links to the dining area off the kitchen, while the same dining room also opens through double, part-glazed doors to the front sitting room, with bay window and open fire, and this room is wood-floored, while the rest of ground floor flows seamlessly, without door saddles, with grey ceramic tiles throughout.

The ground floor has a guest WC and utility, the sun room has a wood-sheeted ceiling with Velux windows, whilst upstairs the three bedrooms have varnished wood floors. Add in rear decking, private garden and off-street parking, and No 7 ticks lots of boxes for buyers looking for a turn-key home.

VERDICT: Good to go.
