Trading up: Passage West, Cork Harbour

€395,000

There’s both a house, and a site for a second one, at the Cork harbour home called Seabury. Set up at Mariners View Avenue, off Church Hill in Passage West, this is a 2,700 sq ft upgraded and well-kept five-bed family home, plus detached garage, on a site of 0.44 of an acre.

Its owners got full planning for a 1,800 sq ft new-build dormer on a portion (0.2 acre) of its grounds. It can be bought on its own for €120,000, or with Seabury, bringing the all-in price tag to over €500k.
