In need of TLC and new owner

OH there’s nothing like a fixer-upper to get the imagination racing. Take one wreck, add a few bob, time, effort and a good dash of stress and get a one-off, customised cottage.

That’s basically the offer at 5 Beaumont Lane, in Beaumont, Cork, where a rundown cottage will appeal to the inner romantic in buyers. Yes, the property near Longboats pub in Ballintemple is in a bit of a state, but there’s huge potential to turn this neglected house into a little love nest.

The price on the cottage is €175,000 through Jackie Cohalan of Cohalan Downing and you could bring that up to €200,000 for a liveable home.
