Cut-price townhouse for €245,000

THE real Chatsworth is in England, is the seat of the Dukes of Devonshire, (who own Lismore Castle) and houses the world’s largest private art collection.

Chatsworth, Donnybrook, however, is a scheme of townhouse and apartments at the end of Donnybrook Hill in Douglas, Cork. On a lesser scale, certainly, but enough for the average buyer looking for a handy and spacious 1,100 square foot pied a terre. Within this gated development, No 3 is a new market entrant with s three-beds, and three-storey accommodation for offers around €245,000 through Jeremy Murphy and Associates.

In 2002, when these units were launched off-plan, the price was €235,000 and by 2005, the townhouses were on the market at €350,000.
