Trading Up: Beaumont, Cork €365,000

“Tremendous and with most pleasant gardens,” is the boast of estate agent Timothy Sullivan when addressing the charms of the older-era, three-bed semi-d at 4 Beaumont Lawn, in Cork’s southern suburbs.

And, he’s bang on the money in singling out this aspect as putting No 4 ahead of the posse for home hunters wanting outdoor space, and garden maturity, in a settled suburb close to conurbations like Douglas and Blackrock.

Guided at €365,000, No 4 is going to need updating, and has a poor enough F BER, whilst many viewers taking on upgrades might also want to extend. If so, there’s plenty of garden to colonise, and an attached garage for starters to knit into a new, larger package.
