A LOCATION within a waddle of Cork’s wildfowl sanctuary The Lough, as well as having a significantly revamped and upgraded SuperValu across the road as the ‘corner shop’ are some of the additional attractions at this detached southside home called Evora.

Brick-faced, with large dormer windows with lattice finish, there’s a surprising 167 sq m, or 1,785 sq ft, within this owner-occupied four-bed home which is fresh to the market via agent Timothy Sullivan and appreciated by several generations of the family who are now selling up.

Mr Sullivan guides the very well-kept home — decorated with bit of Gallic flair — within a walk of UCC and of the city centre at €595,000, and while it’s got a very attractive open plan layout at ground level with linked rooms (and with one of its four bedrooms downstairs) he says it’s adaptable internally to allow for a granny flat as well as main private home.

Right now it has a substantial sitting room, with fireplace, with bay window in front and slender french doors to an external courtyard, a lounge with period style cast iron fireplace with tiled inserts and timber surround, linking to a breakfast room with tiled floor which continues to a kitchen with pine units and tile-topped island.

An open tread stairs leads to three first floor bedrooms, one of which is en suite and a main bathroom with shower.

Neat grounds

Externally, Evora has off street parking, well-planted front garden with shrubs and hedging, and screened door access to a courtyard style easy-keep rear outdoor area.

Viewings are only just starting and trade-up interest is expected, as well as relocators coming back to Cork to work in nearby hospitals such as the Bon Secours: investor interest might also surface given its got four bedrooms.

VERDICT: Great accessible location by The Lough, and a SuperValu to duck into
