Make a safe bet on this centrally situated duplex

THERE are investment properties and then there are 'bankers'.

Given the right location, lettings aren't a problem and this two-bed duplex just behind the Garda station on Maryborough Hill in Cork couldn't be a safer bet.

Sarah Hyde of Global Properties is selling no 9 Maryborough Green, for offers in the region of €310,000 and says it a great lifestyle location just a walk from the buzzy nightlife of downtown Douglas.

Douglas is served by two shopping centres and is at the centre of a road network that provides links to all part of the city,.

Bright and spacious, number 9, Maryborough Green is just off the Fingerpost roundabout and comes with a sitting room of 17' by 12' with wooden floor, a fireplace and sliding doors to the patio and garden.

Other rooms are a kitchen/diner, guest bathroom, two bedrooms, one en suite, and a main bathroom.

It also has good parking, gas heating and is stamp duty-free for first-time buyers.
