Your chance to live in your own lake district

IDEAL for first-time buyers, trumpets the brochure and, indeed, 4 Connolly Road at Ballyphehane on the southside of Cork city is a good bet in terms of price, location and, above all, accommodation.

On the market with Christy Ryan Auctioneer and Associates for offers in excess of €330,000, this Ballyphehane house is in very good condition and is a 10-minute drive to town.

Wilton Shopping centre, UCC and Cork University Hospital are about the same distance, westwards.
