Trading Up: Bishopstown, Cork, €350,000

A south-facing back garden with two patios, lots of room inside thanks to almost 1,700 sq ft of living and sleeping space, and the option of a fifth bedroom, are just some of the attractions to 39, Halldene....all of that, and a western suburban setting too.

Set by the Curraheen Road west of Bishopstown in Cork, near the CIT and CUH, No 39 carries a €350,000 asking price with Johnny O’Flynn of Sherry FitzGerald, who says the semi-detached home is well-presented, it’s bright inside and is “a fine opportunity to purchase a large family home, in this prime area”.

There’s a parquet-floored hall, wood floored living and dining rooms, one with solid fuel back boiler in a fireplace, and the other’s got an electric fire, a kitchen with brick-style splashback by the sink/window, there’s a dual aspect office/bed five, a guest WC and shower room, and four overhead bedrooms (two of the four are singles) and main family bathroom.
