Starter homes: Wilton, Cork €169,000

Sq m: 102 (1,100 sq ft)

The three-bed terraced townhouse at 59 Garrandarra, in beyond Eagle Valley in Cork’s Wilton suburb, is just ten years old and is in spotless order, says auctioneer Darragh Taaffe of Keane Mahony Smith.

Its three bedrooms are a good size, the kitchen’s well-fitted floors and fittings are above average.

It’s build in what’s a quite unusual courtyard cluster sort of layout. And, having shaved a few thousand euros off the asking price to bring it to €169k, he predicts a quick sale

VERDICT: Good clean buy.
