Brisk bidding for ‘old Douglas’ home

DON’T be put off by the name - Tigin (small house) - this is a grand sizeable and solid suburban home.

Tigin is on Tramore Lawn, a straight run of estate straddling, or linking, the main and back Douglas roads in Cork city, within a short walk of Douglas village and every amenity to hand.

The couple of dozen "old Douglas" houses here were built in the post-war period, set behind high walls that seem forbidding to curious passers-by, but which give extra privacy to the occupants.
