Carrigaline Road, Cork €280,000

A big, open, safe, back garden comes with the bungalow San Marino, a three-bed on the edge of Cork’s Douglas village.

It’s within a few minutes’ walk up along Carr’s Hill/Carriglaine Road, just before the entrance and across the way from the secondary entrance to the big Maryborough Woods scheme — where the same €280,000 sum being asked here would get you a four-bed semi with around 1,300 sq ft.
