Irresistible city project

DESPITE its rather desolate condition, No 2 Alexandra Terrace on Cork’s Military Hill, could be lived in immediately, says agent Andrew Moore.

But it would be camping conditions — and you’d want to be madly in love to move from one room outward, but then, this house is a fine project for a couple big on ideas but low on cash.

Subject to an engineer’s report, No 2 appears to be a fine, three-storey property in a pretty cool area of the city which offers a lot of space in return for the asking of €290,000.
