Bernadette, a suite figure 8

STRIPPED, re-built and extended, this former, standard three-bed semi at 8 Bernadette Way, Ballinlough, Cork, is a turn-key buy.

And while the acquisition and renovation costs were computed in a much different time, today’s buyers are getting good value for €355,000, says Jeremy Murphy of Jeremy Murphy and Associates.

A smashing house with clean lines, good quality flooring and a contemporary walnut kitchen, it comes with two en suite bedrooms out of a potential five, a small but south facing back garden and best of all, a location within a walk of the city and a zip to the ring road.
