Your chance to pick and choose in desirable parks

OLD Douglas in Cork has a strong draw — the maturity of the houses, the proximity to good schools and the plethora of shops and other outlets makes it first choice for trader-uppers - first-time buyers are usually priced out here.

Two ‘park’ houses are new to the September market and they exemplify the kind of house that draws in the buyers.

The first, at Browningstown, Park, is completely renovated and comes in at €320,000 and the second, at 13 Loreto Park, has four bedrooms, needs modernising and is on offer at €340,000 through Paul Reid of Sherry FitzGerald.
