Description
Patricia Stokes Auctioneers and Valuers are delighted to bring No. 54 Greenhills Court to the market for sale. This is a fine three bedroomed end of terraced home with a side entrance and an exceptionally large privately enclosed rear garden. The development of Greenhills on the South Douglas Road withing walking distance of the city centre was built in 1978 and was ahead of its time. It offered a range of house types from mid terraced to end of terraced as well as semi detached homes. No. 54 captures the best of these house types tucked away for privacy but not compromising on space. The property has been well minded by the current owner and its accommodation spread over two levels extends to approx. 910 sq. ft. (84.54 sq. mt). It offers entrance hall, kitchen cum dining room, lounge cum family room all at ground floor level. The first floor is home to three fine bright bedrooms (two doubles one single) and a family bathroom. An independent cabin sits in the rear garden. This home boasts a C3 energy rating impressive for a home of its age and could with be improved further should the next purchaser wish. A new front and back door were recently installed as well as a Stanley solid fuel stove in the lounge cum family room and an upgrade in a new gas boiler have all contributed so far.
Given the space given over to the corner site this home enjoys and its extensive rear garden the home lends itself to a spacious wrap around extension With all of the recent talks in relation to back garden cabin proposals, No. 54 was ahead of itself and the current owner installed a cabin with an overall measurement of approx. 420 sq. ft. as a home working space. While this cabin is in need of some upgrade it already has plumbing and electricity running to it. The outside of this home gives a private entrance space to the front finished with landscaping. The extensive rear garden is lawned and closed. It faces south west and captures all day sunshine. The early planting of trees back in the day is now brining reward in their maturity and adds to this external private green space.
The location of No 54 Greenhills court is second to none with easy access by foot to Cork city centre in one direction or Douglas village in the other. The medical facilities of The Bons Hospital, The Mercy Hospital, South Infirmary, CUH and Mater Private are all within minutes reach. Primary schools include Eglantine Girls, St Anthonys Boys, Gaelscoil na Duglaise while second level of Regina Mundi, Christ The King, Douglas Community and Coláiste Chríost Rí are all within walking distance of this home. Third level at UCC is also within walking or cycling distance. The public bus should it be needed runs at almost 10-minute intervals stopping right outside the entrance to the park with routes serving the city centre. Access to the south link road in both directions is available close by. Recreation facilities are also easily catered for from the walkways at Tramore valley park to the fitness and sporting hub at Nemo Rangers.
