House of the week: Douglas village €335,000

Size: Sq m 116 (1,250 sq ft)

IT goes to show how secular society has become that on hearing the name of this house, Villa Marie, as many people will think of a similar-sounding popular white wine, as will translate it as the House of Mary.

This semi-detached four-bed home is new to market this weekend with agent Brian Olden of Cohalan Downing and will get many, many drive-by viewings today and tomorrow: in fact, if you’re in and around Cork’s Douglas village at any time, it’s almost impossible to miss....it’s one of the closest semis or family homes to the epicentre of ‘the village.’
