If you want privacy try this suburban townhouse in a gated development

WHEN Chatsworth was launched in 2002, the townhouses in this mixed scheme were selling off the plans for €235,000.

Now the first resale of this development is on the market for €350,000 a jump of €115,000 in less than three years.

And the present price guide is fairly average for an upmarket, three-bed in the Douglas area of Cork, especially when you take into account that Chatsworth is a gated estate with a small courtyard of houses and apartments.
