Big early 1980s build on Rochestown Road 0.3 acre site for under €900k
GARDENS planted over 45 years ago have now more than borne fruit for the family home called Trade Winds – they also provide great screening, privacy and year-round and seasonal colour. Rear view of Trade Winds Set on Cork's main Rochestown Road, it's one of c a dozen one-off, detached homes – none of them small - built in the early 1980s, in front of Lime Trees and just before the N28/ring road crossover and St Patrick's Church. Trade up to Trade Winds? It's been the private home from day one of a Cork business family, and selling now on their behalf is Patricia Stokes who guides the 2,750 sq ft five-bed home at €895,000. She says it's already spacious, has a great mix of ground floor rooms (four reception rooms,) and has an attached double garage with conversion/integration scope as it's back-to-back with a lounge allowing for double aspect great rooms, and has a south-facing back garden. Trade Winds is on c 0.3 of an acre, generous by today's standards and was built at a time when families were larger too, Ms Stokes notes, adding the Douglas/Rochestown location is 'superb.' One of its five first floor bedrooms has an en suite and all are doubles, with built-ins, while quality materials were used internally, such as hardwood stairs, stained glass and a burgundy coloured main bathroom with bidet. Dated internally and reflective of its '80s vintage, it's got a D1 BER and oil central heating. VERDICT: New owner might want to breath a fresh blast of current fashion into Trade Winds and update the décor, or even do some internal reconfiguring, but they're unlikely to need to add on any more square footage?

How many days a week do you work from home?
THE PREMIER OF the Australian state of Victoria has announced plans to enshrine working from home in law, saying it should be 'a right, not a request'. Under Jacinta Allan's plan, workers would be entitled to work from home at least two days per week, if the job allows. Advertisement 'We're doing that because we know what the evidence tells us – workers are more productive, it saves time for families, it saves money for families,' Allan said. In Ireland, a number of companies that allowed their employees to work remotely for the majority of the week have enforced policies to predominantly relocate their staff to the office – notably AIB in recent weeks. So today we're asking you: How many days a week do you work from home?
