Trading up: Beaumont, Cork €345,000

There’s a lovely, long back garden running southwards from the back of the semi-d at 48 Woodvale Road — and it’s packed with features and handyman landscaping touches like paving, arches, pathways and pond, plus shed.
The three/four-bed home is in Cork’s Beaumont near national schools and a park as well as being close to the Skehard Road, and booming Mahon’s just beyond that again for shops, offices and jobs. Also nearby are GAA and rugby sports grounds, pitch and putt, and golf.
