Properties take pain out of commuting

WITH the schools all back in full swing, those driving by houses close to cities must surely be wondering about the ease of a life close to the urban core.

Two houses up for sale with Donal O’Driscoll of GVM Auctioneers in Cork might fit the wishful thinking of frustrated distant commuters, one near so-convenient Turners Cross, which will be strongly contested, and the other at Hartlands Avenue near the Lough. Bigger and in better condition of the two is St Helena’s on Upper Derrynane Road, Turners Cross.

Carrying a €320,000-plus price guide it is a renovated four-bed semi-detached dormer bungalow, with a very good modern kitchen.
