Starter Home: Lovers Wall, Cork, €175,000
NO 8, Woodhill, Lovers’ Walk, in Montenotte, is a little different from the average apartment — it looks like a bungalow, and it’s in a small, gated development of just 12 properties.
Built in 1996, the first-floor, 820 sq ft apartment is on the market with Savills, who say it’s very well-maintained, and very well-located a five-minute drive from the city centre.
At an open viewing on Monday, auctioneer Claire Dennehy, was surprised by the high level of first-time buyer interest. “We had expected very good interest from investors for an apartment in this location, but we found that around half the viewers were first-time buyers.”
The complex is attractive and private, just three kilometres from the city centre. “The asking price of €175,000 is also attractive, since there is now very little available for first-time buyers under €200,000.”
Unusually for a first-floor apartment, the property has own-door access from the ground, by bridge. Accommodation includes a kitchen/dining room at the front, with timber units and a 22’-long living room at the rear, with a south-facing balcony overlooking the city. There’s also a bathroom and two bedrooms, with master en-suite.
Fitted with double-glazed PVC windows and electric heating, it has a D2 BER rating. The complex has large, communal gardens, with mature trees and shrubs and electronic gates. The Property Price Register doesn’t record any recent sales in Woodhill, which is also very popular with renters.
: Well-located, spacious apartment.
