Opportunity awaits someone on the lookout for a period home

PLENTY of viewings to date at 4 Castleview Terrace in Cobh in Cork harbour — so with a drop in the asking price, maybe it is time to make a bidding move.

The large Edwardian semi-detached over-basement house hit the market prior to Christmas with a €450,000 price guide, but perhaps the fact it needed work to get it to rights put some intending buyers off.

Now, the guide has been reduced to €395,000, and offers are being sought with the estate agent Gerard O'Dea of Cohalan Downing keen to get a sale going for his vendors there may be a smart buying opportunity there for someone looking for a period home.
