Location and low price double temptation in city

A BIG price drop in percentage terms, a big back garden with a side entrance, and scoring big on location and ease of access — that’s 64, Connolly Park in Cork’s Ballyphehane.

Just handily in off the Tramore Road on the city’s southside, with the strategic south ring road just beyond again, No 64 is a mid-1900s-built house with a further price drop to stimulate a quick sale.

Originally floated at about the €300,000 mark, this has had two swift price reductions, and is now guided at €237,000 by estate agent Christy Ryan, a figure which he points out puts it well within the grasp of many, including first time buyers who want city suburban services on their doorstep.
