Opportunity knocks in Douglas

THE last comparable sale made €520,000, also for a do-er upper, but on the basis that you have to start an asking price somewhere, and given that the market is continuing to drag through prime season selling time, a Rosebank Douglas, three semi-d has a lower, €475,000 guide.

Algrove is a three-bed semi in the ‘inner-Douglas’ setting, within as easy a walk of Cork city centre as it is of Douglas itself.

Built in the early 1950s by Lanes builders, Algrove is a quietly-set solid family home pleasantly showing the signs of its maturity, inside and out.
