Trading up: Lehenaghmore, Cork €280,000

Sq m: 129 (1,395 sq ft)

The owners of 4 The Drive, in Cork’s Lehenaghmore, have been in occupation from day one. Now, ten years on, they are moving on — but the family home they leave behind is in great decorative order.

Built by Ruden Homes back in 2003, this four-bed detached home is just shy of 1,400 sq ft, notes selling agent Mark Rose of Rose Property Services, who guides this buy at €280,000 and says it’s private as it’s the last in the row.
