There’s a whole lot more than meets the eye at the front gate of this Bishopstown house. The entrance is at one corner of the squarish 0.27 acre site with the 1980-built detached house set diagonally at the top of the drive. Elltim at The Rise has a west-facing back garden and detached garage to one side. The house is in need of renovation, notes agent John Moynihan of Sherry FitzGerald, but viewers are treating this as an opportunity to create a good-sized home to their own spec.

Anyone working in MTU or with children eyeing courses here for their CAO forms would appreciate the fact it’s less than a 2km walk away. You’re also a short spin or bike ride away from UCC and the Bon Secours Hospital and Wilton Shopping Centre is 1.8km away. The 208 bus stop is close by and this route brings you to the city centre. Bishopstown Boys’ and Girls’ national schools are around 250 metres away and Bishopstown Community School, Coláiste an Spioraid Naomh and Mount Mercy College are all a handy distance too.

VERDICT: Supremely eligible Elltim — thanks to its handy location and space to expand.
