Take a pick from this pretty pair

CITY or country? Opting for one location or another for a family sized four-bed Cork semi-d can see a difference of nearly €60,000, depending on choice.

A smart, four-bedroomed semi at 43 Foxwood, on a corner site up in the heights of increasingly suburbanised Rochestown, east of Douglas, carries a price guide of €290,000 with Cohalan Downing.

Also for sale with the same agents is another very good hill-topping semi at 22, The View, in Priory Court, Watergrasshill, starting at €230,000.
