Starter home: PASSAGE WEST, CORK €265,000

CALLED Fiche, the Irish for 20, this detached family dormer home is in a quiet spot in the Bloomingdale scheme in Cork harbour’s Passage West.

There’s a lot on offer for buyers at the €265,000 level via agents Savills, with four bedrooms, three bathrooms, two reception rooms, a study and a 17’ by 11’ kitchen/diner.

VERDICT: Cul de sac setting and a good site of 0.18 of an acre make for a decent package.
