“You can feel the love,” enthuses Florence Gabriel, the selling agent of this three-bed end-terrace home.

And, given the personality put into it, the dashes of colour and the walls of family photographs, she’s spot on.

The vendors of 84 Clonlea, in the large Mount Oval development in Cork’s Rochestown, are looking to trade their growing young family from the well-tended 1,160 sq ft home, and it carries a €320,000 AMV via Sherry FitzGerald.

The contrast with the occasional run or investor re-sales there couldn’t be more marked, as in lieu of standard decor and furniture, No 84 has clearly been a much-loved private home.

Ms Gabriel says the layout has been cleverly planned to maximise space to its full potential, and it effectively has two ground floor large rooms, each 19’ by 11’, one for day living, the other kitchen/dining, with the essential back-up of a utility in the mid-section, plus a guest WC.

Upstairs, one of the three bedrooms is en suite, and externally there’s both a front and a back garden, with side access to the rear one which is walled in, with patio, shed, lawn, and painted walls with ivies starting to colonise them.

VERDICT: A real home, and all the signs of it
