Passage home has potential

WATCHING Sarah Beeny on Channel 4’s Property Ladder could make you come over all entrepreneur-like about houses like this one, at Passage West, Co Cork.

And while an hour’s programme could mean a year’s work, this 1700s end-of-terrace property has the potential to be turned into apartments, according to Sarah Hyde of DNG Harris, and could make the owner minted into the process.

All right, maybe not minted, but there’s the potential to make a few bob, if costs don’t overrun. Ms Hyde is looking for €255,000 for this 4/5 bed property on Cork Street, with comes with a large yard to the back and a maisonette.
