TAKE a look at this rare five-bedroom property that has entered the market for €280,000 – and it’s just a short stroll from the heart of the city.
Located in the heart of gorgeous Cork city, the pad is perfect for a family but there’s a catch.
Cork City offers supermarkets, shopping centres, shops, cafes, restaurants, pubs and sporting facilities, including a GAA club, a golf club and a gym.
Families will appreciate the property’s proximity to a number of school options.
The residents of the city are graced by the tranquillity of a gorgeous city setting featuring many beautiful walking trails and parks.
The public transport options are fantastic, providing connections to Dublin, Waterford, Limerick, Galway and Kilkenny.
The property is situated on Ballyhooly Road and is just a short stroll from the beautiful glen Community Garden.
And it would make an excellent home for a large family or a potential investment.
However, it requires a lot of refurbishment and modernisation before moving into the property, but it offers huge potential, especially its prime location.
It is the perfect opportunity for the new owner to achieve their dream home by refurbishing a rare pad in the heart of Cork City.
Entering the property, you are greeted by a spacious hallway with access to the spacious sitting room, a living room, a kitchen/dining room and the stairwell to the first floor.
The spacious sitting room features a decorative slate fireplace with a cast iron insert and a bay window overlooking the streets – it also comes with original wooden flooring but requires some repair.
The living room features original wooden flooring and a large window; it can be easily converted into a home office, a guest bedroom or a playroom for the children.
The kitchen comes with built-in wooden units, black marble countertops, and a tiled backsplash wall.
The kitchen requires a lot of refurbishment as the tiled flooring is cracked, and the units require an update, including their appliances, but it comes with a lot of potential.
Buyers of the property can expand the kitchen into the next room to create an open-plan kitchen/dining/living room, but they would be required to seek planning permission for it.
Spacious bedrooms
The first floor consists of four bedrooms and a main bathroom.
The four spacious bedrooms come with laminate flooring, built-in floor-to-ceiling wooden wardrobes and space for a double bed and a desk or vanity.
With the planning permission, the buyers can knock down the walls and convert two bedrooms into a primary suite bedroom.
The main bathroom is fully tiled and has a built-in electric shower unit, a wash hand basin, a toilet and storage units.
The property has a small garden, ideal for children and pets to roam freely.
The BER rating for the pad is D1.
