WHAT was a happy and bustling family home is now an affordable Cork city property option for another generation of occupiers as it comes up for sale.

No 22 Mulgrave Road is a city house near the North Cathedral, Shandon Steeple and is directly opposite the Quality Shandon Court Hotel.

It is for sale with Robert O’Keeffe of Irish and European estate agents, who seeks €250,000 for the well-placed end of terrace home.

He pitches it to first time buyers, or investors, and notes that its sheer convenience will please its new owners, who can then put their own mark on the house.
