Residence in elegant square has military past

DO-ER Upper or diamond in the rough, call it what you will, 9 Wellington Square needs, and may repay, investment of time and money.

Enough of both, and this tall and slender home with a private side garden will indeed shine once more.

Dating back to the 1830s, the end-of-terrace house off Cork’s Magazine Road with a military past last changed hands only a few years ago. Truth be told it didn’t get the make-over that was expected, and so it comes back up on the market with a €380,000-plus price quoted by Frances O’Brien of Andrew Moore and Co auctioneers.
