An ideal property for trader-uppers

BUILT at a time when land prices were lower and construction costs cheaper, this fine property on the western side of Cork city comes with plenty of space and a large, west-facing site.

Number 9, Beverly, weighs in at just under 2,000 sq ft and is situated in one of the more discreet estates on the periphery of Ballincollig.

A straight forward two-storey, its large picture windows ensure plenty of light and it also comes with a fully-glazed conservatory off the main living room. The estate is mature and leafy in a countryside setting, but will benefit from the new Ballincollig bypass.
