House on the hill with a bit on the side

"IT'S a bloody nice house, whoever gets it will be very happy with it," says estate agent Peter Skuse, one of a selling breed with a bit of soul for the older stock.

Cohalane Skuse is selling 55, High Street on the edge of Cork city, where the city starts to roll out to the older suburbs of Turners Cross and towards Douglas. And, this 1800s house on a hill has 'a bit on the side' for anyone who wants options in an affordable, doer-up buy.

The three-bed terraced townhouse has a side yard with separate side access, and a rear yard as well, so for about the price of a compact apartment a buyer here will get the chance to buy 'period lite.'
