House of the week

It’s been years since a Ballincurrig, Douglas family home came up for this sort of money — a sub €300,000 asking price is pinned to the four-bed semi-d called Cremore, in this quietest of cul de sac estates.

Correction: Ballincurrig is actually (in proper Douglas/Cork parlance at least) a ’park,’ rather than an estate: it’s the sort of setting where houses have names, rather than numbers.

But, to be egalitarian, Cremore also has its number displayed, it’s No 24 in the park - but it’s the asking price of €295,000 via agents Casey and Kingston that most people will want to number crunch.
