A period property in need of a dig-out: Cork harbour €200,000

Size: Sq m 168 (1,800 sq ft)

There are doer-uppers and doeruppers, but in the case of No 5 Marine Villas at Monkstown, Co Cork, the unwary are warned ever before viewing of what lies within — to wit, a gaping hole where a floor used to be.

Yes, this period Monkstown property, overlooking Cork harbour, is openly in need of repair, so much so that a dodgy floor was removed to make, er, viewing, a bit safer for all concerned.
