Low guide on town house

A DOUBLE-fronted, three-bedroom house at 8 Bishop Street, Cobh, is on the market with a guide price of €169,000.

And while it will need some work to bring it up to standard, that should be quite easily done, says selling agent Joanna Murphy of Joanna Murphy and Son.

With a courtyard to the rear, the house has two storeys. Number 8 has a sitting room, kitchen/dining room with open fireplace and a ground-floor bathroom. Overhead are three bedrooms and a bathroom.

Cobh is one of the more popular commuting towns in the Cork area and is easily accessed by way of the railway service.

In addition, there are good road links to the city. Cobh is also one of the county’s most popular tourist spots.
