Starter homes: Quaker Road, Cork City €135,000

New to market, but also needing renewal, No 18, Parkowen, is a mid-terraced townhouse in a quirky, little-known setting by a green.
It is tucked away just off the top of Quaker Road, by Evergreen Street and Evergreen Road, with 20 Edwardian townhouses dating to about 1910.
Agent John Barry of Frank V Murphy & Co says it has been rented. A mini timepiece, No 4 Parkowen in immaculate internal order, sold in 2012 for its €165,000 guide price.
Set in a smashing inner-city spot but there’s only a small back yard.
