Starter homes

Watergrasshill, Cork €125,000

Sq m: 85 (9810 sq ft)

Bedrooms: 3

Bathrooms: 3

BER rating: C3

There are only 18 houses in all in the Woodlawn development by Cork’s Watergrasshill, and now No 8 in the maturing scheme is up for sale with a €125,000 asking price via agent Matt Fallon.

At the price level, he reckons it’s a good buy for investors and first-time buyers, as well as small families, and he says it’s near shops and services too.

It has one en suite bedroom, main living room with laminate floor, a 20’ by 11’ kitchen/dining behind with guest WC, and off-street parking, with front and back garden.

VERDICT: In a quiet, small Watergrasshill park.

Douglas, Cork €145,000

Sq m: 52 (560 sq ft)

Bedrooms: 1

Bathrooms: 1

BER rating: D2

OK, it’s on the small side, but this one-bed apartment is, at least, perfectly set, amid plush modern mansions and mature old hardwood trees.

No 17 Douglas House is within a modern three/four-storey build alongside the converted original period house’s mix of apartments and townhouses.

No 17 has a simple layout with kitchen/living/dining room, and marble top units, with access from the double-aspect room to a west-facing balcony. Selling agent is Conor Smith of Casey and Kingston auctioneers

VERDICT: High spec, but low on space.
