Living on holy ground

No 15, The Vicarage is a high-spec five-bed reduced to €425,000, says Tommy Barker

HOUSES built a few years ago at the Vicarage, on the edge of Douglas Village, Cork, have been selling steadily in the last 18 months with Savills, at prices (according to the National Price Register) from €299,000 to €420,000 (exclusing VAT); now, No 15, one of the largest, also on a large site, is new to market for €425,000.

The scheme of 17 detached houses, plus adjoining apartments closer to the Carr’s Hill entrance, was started by developers, Frinailla, back in 2007 — too late for a falling market.
