Perfect setting in city suburbs

A SIZEABLE city period terraced home, for €380,000? Yours — more or less — to take away, at 18 Frankfield Terrace in Cork inner suburbs.

The three-storey, red-brick Victorian house, within a five to 10-minute walk of the city centre at Summerhill South, is part of a long row of listed (protected) structures, more or less intact, though it is one of the few to have broken ranks in the past decade or so by replacing original front sash windows with PVC replacement double-glazed units.

Though not in completely in keeping with the row, they at least give some creature comforts to occupants of No 18, which also has a recently installed combi gas heating. Add in the fact you’ve neighbours either side, meaning no heat loss via party walls, and new owners could be sitting pretty snug in this handily-set home.
