A house for sale in a picturesque setting at The Lough, Cork
ARARE bird in its own right is No 3, Lough Villas, set to make a bit of a splash in Cork’s venerable suburban house market, within a walk of the city centre, and with the much-loved wildfowl sanctuary, the Lough, as its main focus and view.
Built before the Rising, around the start of the previous century, and dated to circa 1900, this mid-terraced house has a simply ace location and aspect, at the Lough.
As a result, its selling agent, Jeremy Murphy, can expect viewers to simply ‘flock’ to it.
The setting is just in off Lough Road, and it has a long garden, plus parking set just across a shared access drive serving neighbouring homes.
The garden, whimsically framed by a faithful pair of concrete swan planters, runs right down the pedestrian perimeter of the Lough, a popular walk and waddle that’s a little over a kilometre in circumference.
The four-hectare Lough has been a protected environment since 1881, and is home to a wide variety of fowl and fish, with carp, rudd, eel and perch under the water, and swans, geese, duck, and water hens among the species on top.
As landmarks go, it’s a Cork classic.
Now, for nesting types, No 3 has refuge prospects, floated at €325,000 by Mr Murphy, and that’s for a four-bed home of circa 1,100 sq ft, in need of some modernising, but with good basics (it has double-glazing, gas-heating, etc), and a perfect prospect.
Go for a gander and you might end up under Lough and Quay.
