Cheap homes ripe for transformation

WHEN the market is at rock bottom, is it time to speculate?

Those with a penchant for taking a punt might be interested in two cheap properties in Blarney and Clonakilty.

This first is a one-up, one-down cottage at 20 Muskerry Tce in Blarney. Built for mill workers, the property is on the market at €90,000 through Vincent Clinch of Clinch Young and Groeger, but a lesser figure may buy it.
