Trading up: Blackrock, Cork €225,000

Sq m: 110 (1,175 sq ft)

There has been lots of work done to well-set 1930s home Hazeldene, on the city end of the Old Blackrock Road in Cork — but you’d be itching to take a paintbrush, a lawnmower and a few quid more to it now to do it full justice.

A new-to-market arrival last week with agent Andrew Moore, who guides at €225,000, it should prove a viewing hit and bid away quickly, given the lack of supply on this spring’s market.
