This Moneygourney mews won’t cost you the earth

DESCRIBED as a mews-style home — rather than an apartment — 27, Fort Hill, Moneygourney, outside Douglas, Cork is a two-bedroom home.

It gets the descriptive upgrade, argues its selling agents, as it has its two cobble-lock parking spots right in front of the door, and has a separate side access to a walled in and very chic back garden: ergo, more than your usual apartment, says auctioneer Tim Sullivan.

This ground floor place is neat inside and out, and will suit a trader-down or, equally a first time buyer. Mr Sullivan says it is bright and cheerful, ready to move into and he seeks €260,000, with a key selling point being its easy-keep walled in back garden.

There’s a covered porch, a living room/dining room, up-to-date kitchen with built-ins, landing, master bedroom en suite, and second bedroom plus main bathroom.

Heating is by gas, windows are wood-grain double glazed pvc — and the sheltered back garden is a sun trap.
