Your own hamlet at the Lough

LOOKING straight out over the Lough in Cork, this terraced house at 2 Ophelia Place is a little faded, but could be transformed by new owners.

The structure is very good, according to Jennifer Bermingham of Noelle Morrison and Associates, because all the drains have been re-done as part of an underpinning. Subsidence is a regular feature of some properties in Cork city, a problem that eventually causes drains to crack and houses to sink.

And with all the messy work done here at No 2, there is scope to move onto another project, says Ms Bermingham, as the property comes with full planning for a two storey extension to the rear, in place of the existing, single level structure.
