Starter homes: High Street, Cork €120,000

Size: Sq m 60 (640 sq ft)

It was sale agreed fairly quickly when it hit the market a couple of months ago — but this week the proposed sale of this High Street Cork City house hit the rocks. It’s back up for all comers once more, and that’s to the benefit of those who missed out first time around.

Done up by an investor/builder with an eye for detail, this is a two bedroomed mid-terrace house needing no more upgrades, and is eye-catching thanks to simple things like the contemporary-styled central feature staircase with glass panels/balusters, matched with smart colours in the decor.
