Accessed via pedestrian gate Ivy Clad is an attractive two bedroomed terraced home located in the much sought after residential suburb of Ballinlough. This home has been in the same ownership for the past 70 years.

It now presents as a fine home of approx. 865 sq. ft. with double glazed PVC windows and gas central heating. One of the winning features of this home is its backdrop. Set with the six acres of Ballinlough GAA grounds to the rear Ivy Clad enjoys its own enclosed rear garden with the grounds giving that additional feeling of uninterrupted green space on its southern side. Many of the rooms within are dual aspect and get to capitalise on the views while also maximising the brightness enjoyed within.
