All done up is the neat, but small package at 22 Donnybrook Cottages, up and over the hills from Douglas suburbs in Cork.
The renovated two-bed home with a long graveled garden to the front, is bright and ready to go, after all the recent work, say agents Sherry FitzGerald.
Rooms include a front lounge with fireplace, two beds, a kitchen and shower room, with a small back yard.
VERDICT: A clean buy for first time buyers, traders down or even investors.
