A comfortable first-time buy

It may be small, but having only been on the market for a week, 5 Belmont Terrace is attracting some big interest. Tommy Barker reports

It’s only on the market about a week, and already viewings are heading into double digits — that’s because 5 Belmont Terrace is a little gem, and its €90k asking price is a bonus. The early 1900s end- terrace home is petite but nicely rounded, up above St Luke’s Cross at Old Youghal Rd, so its location is spot on, too, says auctioneer Garry O’Donnell of ERA Downey McCarthy.

No 5 is a lesson in how to present a wee place for sale. It’s painted up in warm and pale tones, simply decorated, and ready to move into.
