Coming up on its 30th birthday is 4 Rosehill, an out-of-the-way, four-bed detached home off the city end of Old Blackrock Rd in Cork, in a spot that the hardiest of Corkonians might initially find hard to locate.

Rosehill is set across the way from the South Infirmary’s main entrance, and comprises of just five detached, brick-faced homes (No 1’s the largest) done on an infill/garden site, back in 1997.

Resales here have been rare: the Property Price Register shows No 2 selling back as far ago as 2012 at €311,000, with no offering since showing as a sale (Nos 1 and 2 were offered back in 2005 and 2007).

None since, apparently... until now.

The very well presented 1,375sq ft two-storey home, No 4 is freshly listed for its owners with a €650,000 AMV quoted by Trevor O’Sullivan and Laura Pratt of Lisney Sotheby’s International Realty, who say the Old Blackrock Rd setting is quite exclusive.

It’s at the end of Rosehill’s short run of five detacheds, with its side boundary alongside the final stretch of the South City Link Rd, opposite the Boreenmanna Rd junction, so those on that facing road/junction will know of No 4’s existence at least from its side gable profile.

Accommodation in the walk-in condition home within a short walk into the city centre includes front living room, rear family room off a kitchen/dining room, guest WC, with four first floor bedrooms, (one en suite) and main bathroom.

Externally, it’s on minimum upkeep grounds, with gravel, and brick paving with rear southerly aspect, with storage outbuilding, while exterior walls are equally low-maintenance, with brick, tile and dash.
