Cute house scores at the Cross

On the market for €75,000, 3 Maiville Terrace, Turners Cross, Cork may be in need of future investment, but its location makes it a steal for a starter home, as Rose Martin reports

When an auctioneer’s brochure suggests a property is in need of full refurbishment, it means A: it’s not in great shape and B: money will have to be spent. But in the case of 3 Maiville Terrace, Turner’s Cross, the starting price reflects the need for future investment.

The little terraced, two-bed is on the market at €75,000 through Timothy Sullivan andAssociates and a cash buyer prepared to sign on the dotted line, could find it might sell for less. It’s in a state of grace in terms of layout — all of the old features are still in place, save a few exceptions.
