Trading up: Kilbrody, Rochestown Cork €350,000
QUITE the blank canvas, freshened up almost in a single creamy magnolia colour through all of its rooms and thus ready for a new occupant’s arrival and burst of new personality, is 18 Kilbrody, a 2000s built three-bed semi-d, shy of 1,200 sq ft, within the large Kilbrody section of O’Flynn Construction’s Mount Oval Village.
Kilbrody has a mix of detacheds, semis and townhouses, and a number have been upgraded in recent times and extended, so comparing prices via the Price Register needs to be done with care: it shows a few dozen deals ranging from €165,000 to €513,000, back to 2010, none yet for 2017, while a marginally smaller 1,100 sq ft semi-d made €335,000 at the back end of 2016.
Auctioneer Florence Gabriel of Sherry FitzGerald launches No 18 at €350,000, and it’s quite the typical original layout, with front reception, rear dining area tee-ing into a kitchen off in a jutting out section, as well as utility, understairs storage and guest WC.
Upstairs are three double bedrooms, one with en-suite, and main bathroom.
Externally, there’s off-street parking for two cars on a cobbled drive, and side access to a rear garden with storage shed, and a nicely maturing magnolia tree, so there’s something to work with outside too to make this house a home.
No 18 is set to come of age.
