Six-bed home within walking distance of Mahon Point

WHERE in Cork’s Blackrock would you get a six-bed, four en suite house for offer in the region of €295,000?

Mahon, Blackrock, Cork €295,000

BER: C2

At 6, Cappanoole Estate is where — a small enclave close by the pedestrian access to Mahon Point Shopping Centre and in a location that’s minutes from City Gate and the Blackrock estuary walk.

However, the house is likely to make a good rental bet, says selling agent Joe Gavin of James G Coughan and Co, who says it’s in pretty good condition and has the potential to realise over €2,000 per month in rental income.

It’s surprising how big this house is — and it sits on a large, quarter acre site with a west-facing back garden — so that’s a major box ticked. It also comes with a good range of rooms, and the main living rooms are very generous.

The living room is 23’ by 13’, the dining room is the same, and the family room is 21’ by 14’ while the kitchen is a long and well fitted defensible space at 29’ by 9’ with ash units.

Meanwhile, the house also has a decent utility, a study, and guest bathroom on the ground floor, along with an en suite bedroom.

Overhead, there are three more en suite double rooms, a main bathroom and two more bedrooms. Heating is by oil and the house is in a quiet cul-de-sac, says Joe Gavin.

VERDICT: Worth a look.
