Trading Up: South Douglas Road €245,000

No 24 Kingsbridge, off Cork’s South Douglas Road, is just like a standard house — only it’s up off the ground.

Built on top of a single-storey, ground level apartment, No 24 is a duplex three- bedroomed house/apartment with just over 1,200 sq ft of space, which includes a conservatory.

Selling agent Michael O’Donoghue of REA O’Donoghue Clarke guides at €245,000.

He says the location at the city end of the South Douglas Road is excellent, just off the city’s link road and within a walk of the city centre via Turner’s Cross.

He adds that No 24 has been extremely well finished and maintained.

It comes with a carpeted living room 18’ by 15’ with fireplace, and the circa 8’ square sun room is off room that via glazed doors.

The kitchen/dining room has a tiled floor and built-ins, and there is a guest WC of the hall.

Upstairs are three bedrooms with dormer-style roof slopes, and one of the three is en-suite with a shower, plus the main bathroom has a bath.

No 24 has access to a first floor balcony with south west aspect, off the sun room, and the development is also gated and secure.

VERDICT: Up off ground is den
