Starter homes: Silversprings, Cork

Price: €179,000

There’s already 1,100 sq ft to play around with at 7 Ashmount, a very good order bungalow at Cork’s Silversprings, but there’s also easy scope to get more in the roof.

With two part-converted attic rooms giving scope for 400 sq ft , this is a buy that can grow with its new owners, says selling agent Jeremy Murphy, guiding €179,000 for the family-friendly property with off-street parking, landscaped gardens and shed.
