FANTASTIC FOUR BED HOME CLOSE TO CITY CENTRE
Savills are delighted to present No.56 Summerstown Drive, a charming four-bedroom semi-detached home dating from 1966, superbly located within walking distance of Cork University Hospital, University College Cork, and the city centre. Positioned in a quiet and mature residential setting, this is a property brimming with potential, combining character with an exceptional address.
From the moment you arrive, No.56 Summerstown Drive has an inviting presence. A private driveway to the front offers parking for two cars and leads to a welcoming entrance hallway. Inside, the accommodation is generous and well-balanced, perfectly suited to modern family life.
To the front of the house is a large, west-facing sitting room with an open fireplace, ideal for cosy evenings and filled with afternoon light. To the rear lies an impressive extended living and dining room, complete with integrated gas fire and patio doors that open to the garden, creating a wonderful space for relaxing and entertaining. A spacious kitchen and dining room, fully fitted and practical, sits alongside a handy utility room, ensuring day-to-day convenience. Also on the ground floor is a well-proportioned double bedroom and a guest WC, providing valuable flexibility for family living or visiting guests.
Upstairs, the home continues to impress with three further bedrooms. Two are generous doubles, bright and welcoming, while the third is a comfortable single, ideal as a bedroom, study, or nursery. A well-sized family bathroom completes the first floor.
In summary, this is a well-presented four-bedroom home with all the fundamentals in place — space, light, a mature setting, and a location that is hard to beat. With just a little TLC, it has every chance to become a forever home for the next generation. Externally, the property enjoys a private rear garden with a sunny patio area, perfect for summer gatherings, playtime, or simply relaxing outdoors. To the front, the driveway provides ample off-street parking, while the setting on this established residential road adds further appeal.
The location of No.56 is second to none. Within 300m is the nearest bus stop, CUH is only 500m away, UCC lies just 2.2km from the doorstep, and the property is positioned right on the edge of Cork City. Everyday amenities including shops, schools, healthcare, and public transport are all close at hand. For commuters, the N40 South Link is less than a kilometre away, providing easy access to all parts of the city and beyond.
Although the house would benefit from some modernisation, it is clear that the potential here is enormous. Its spacious layout, solid construction, and exceptional location combine to make this a truly exciting opportunity. Whether as a wonderful family home or as a shrewd long-term investment, No.56 Summerstown Drive is a property that will appeal to buyers seeking value, convenience, and growth potential.
