Fort Hill house is light bright and easy to keep for fresh owners

This is a simple, feelgood home for starters or traders down, writes Tommy Barker.

Described by its selling agents as a starter home, the three-bed semi-d at 13 Fort Hill could be more than that - it’s a nice, bright and easy to keep home in a good location, with a useful back garden too.

Fort Hill is towards the back of Cork’s Rochestown and Maryborough Hill, a scheme done in the early 2000s by Bantry builders Murnane and O’Shea, distinguished from the usual run of semis by the flat-topped dormers on the front facade, above the deep living room bay window.
