Original in top-drawer location

BACK up for sale after necessary drains work has been done, and combining a nice mix of modernisation and 1930s originality, is this house in the Cork suburb of Douglas, Ardgroom.

It has a €635,000 price guide, so likely buyers know they’ll be into 9% stamp duty territory.

Location is top-drawer here, opposite the new AIB bank and Reeveswood development a couple of hundred yards from Douglas village, and this older-style semi has plenty of space for family occupation, says John Barry of Keane Mahony Smith, acting jointly in the sale with Casey and Kingston.
