Freshened up in ‘Old Douglas’

THE important, but invisible, work has been done at Willow House. Now, with subsidence tackled by under-pinning, all this detached four-bed home needs is a modernising hand and a freshening up.

Willow House is on Cork’s Cross Douglas Road, where the most recent sale is in the big league: the large period semi Eden Vale on huge grounds made over €1 million.

By contrast, the more modest Willow option across the road, towards the south Douglas road, has a €425,000-plus price quoted by Michael O’Donoghue of McKenna O’Donoghue Clarke auctioneers.
