9 Rathmore Lawn

Douglas, Cork

Size	147 sq m (1,575 sq ft)
Bedrooms	4
Bathrooms	3
BER	C

There's been an offer straight away at the €550,000 AMV for the extended four-bed semi-d d, 9 Rathmore Lawn, just off the South Douglas Road in a proven location – so proven that the adjoining new development home scheme called Bridlewood may take off at a gallop.

Set at a slight angle to the straight stretch between the two main Douglas roads, Rathmore Lawn/Rhodaville, No 9 dates to the 1960s and has a sizeable side garden, and a smaller back one, with a mature tree boundary to the c five acre Bridlewood site, currently being developed for 113 units by O’Callaghan Properties and landowner Mark Whitaker: up to now the field has been a suburban anomaly, used for growing corn.

Previously extended to the side, No 9 has 1,575 sq ft, with a ground floor en suite bedroom, two reception rooms, a full-width kitchen/ dining room to the back, plus guest WC. Above are three  bedrooms and main bathroom, and while it has been a rental of late it’s in good overall condition, with a C BER.

Selling is Michelle Kenneally of DNG O’Connor Finn, who says it’s under offer, already at the guide, with very good interest give the location, within a short walk of Douglas village, proximity to schools and sports amenities, and the ground floor en suite bedroom makes it suitable for a range of occupiers/families.

VERDICT: Sort of a blank canvas, except for the fact the vendor, a gallery owner, has some top Irish art displayed on No 9’s walls.
