Low maintenance and close to city

SET off the Blackrock Road in Cork city, and with a south-facing back garden, 21 Rockcliffe Village is the sort of place that will fly off an auctioneer’s books.

The three-bed semi, with a mansard roof, three perky round-roofed dormers and a brick and slate facade, is a low maintenance home.

At just under 1,000 sq ft, it will suit singles or couples, older people trading down, or those looking for an investment.
