Unaltered suburban semi-d in quiet spot

TUCKED away in a quiet suburban spot is 3 Woodgrove, a mid-1900s three-bed semi-detached property just off the Cross Douglas Road in Cork city.

A new market arrival, well-kept but in a quite unaltered state bar the addition of oil heating, it carries a €385,000 asking price with estate agents Frank V Murphy & Co. Two years ago, these Douglas semis were making €450,000-€500,000, needing a range of upgrading works after purchase.

Both the city, and Douglas village itself, are within an easy walk of this location.
