House of the week: Burlington, Douglas, Cork €450,000

Size: Sq m 184 (2,000 sq ft)

THERE aren’t too many properties with water frontage in the very heart of Cork’s Douglas village — but Burlington is one of the rare breed.

This pad, a modest bungalow on first approach (but more of a US-style clapboard two-storey overlooking Douglas estuary on the other,) is for sale with agent Tom Woodward, who guides €450,000 as a spring offer, having had it quietly on the go over the winter at a higher, c €500k price.
