Bargain close to the city centre

AN untouched three-bed semi on the fringes of Cork city, 21 Marina Park, Victoria Road, is on offer through auctioneer Jarleth Boyd at Hamilton Osborne King, at the moment - and it’s a bit of a bargain.

With buckets of character, a good back harden, two garages and a situation off the Blackrock road, this house is a snip at the asking price of €395,000.

You’d have to go much further out into the suburbs to get a mature house at this level, but the snag is, that it probably will be bid upwards.
