Mid-terraced with a long parking space out front, 4 Friary Gardens in Friars Walk is located within walking distance from Cork city centre.

Guiding at €99,000, this cottage in East Cork could be ideal for a first-timer with DIY skills or as a single-storey house for retirees, says Trish Dromey.

This modernist gem, built in the 1970s, is fitted with perfect period furniture, writes Rose Martin.

Just refurbished from top to bottom is 1 Upper Glasheen Road, a two-bed house with an appeal to first time buyers, and owner/occupiers with a handy location.

No 64, Castle Meadows, off the Skehard Road, measures 1,750 sq ft after a two-storey add-on and is priced at €265,000, says Tommy Barker.

“It’s a gorgeous, mature cul de sac,” says estate agent Niall Cahalane of the pleasures of Knockrea Gardens, where he has No 17 motoring along nicely in bids, in the low €200,000s, having initially guided at €197,000.

There are lots of options for buyers of this venerable, characterful home, No 112 Shandon Street, in the heart of Cork City.

DO it up, or knock it down? Both are options at Rose Cottage, a restoration project — in the politest terms — on one of Cork’s most ‘prestigious’ addresses, the Model Farm Road. 

Lovely Lislee has had lots of work done, says Tommy Barker.

A well-kept three-bed home, with a very long and tiered back garden at 69 Ard Keale in Cork’s Rochestown is going to appeal in particular to first-time buyers. 

Set behind Cork’s Church of the Ascension is a townhouse development called 20 Chapel Field, set off Cathedral and Presentation Roads, close to the Orthopaedic Hospital.

Tommy Barker says imagination is the key when it comes to doing something magical with this derelict chalet/house near Crosshaven.

A price guide at €79,000 might mean some love in the air at this North Cork home - appropriately in a scheme called The Pastures, in Love Lane, Charleville.

There’s more than what first greets the eye for buyers, or viewers, at 154 Eagle Valley, in Cork’s suburban Wilton.
