A TRIO of terraced 1890s-built villa buildings, facing the UCC campus and main entry gates on Cork city’s Western Road is up for sale in one lot for €2.35 million, pitched for student accommodation, residential, offices or academic/medical-related uses, with possible further development to rear.

Listed this week with Cushman & Wakefield/Sherry FitzGerald and described as a mixed use investment opportunity are Nos 1, 2 & 3 Westbourne Villas, Western Road, Cork. Between them, they offer 6,300 sq ft of space, with parking to the rear on the Mardyke.

While Nos 1& are offered with vacant possession No 3 is currently let to the HSE/Brothers of Charity as admin offices.
