Trading up: Cork City, €235,000

Sq m: 130 (1,496 sq ft)

The chance to do the right thing for a period, Victorian era home in a strong Cork city location has cropped up with the sale of Craigmore.

Set in a cul de sac section of Connaught Avenue, just on the city side of UCC off Donovan’s Road, it’s a three storey home with a lot of its original detailing remaining intact and in situ, but it needs a bit of rehab too to get up to modern comfort standards.
