Trading up: Skehard Road, Cork €220,000

Sq m: 92.9 (1000 sq ft)

It has a Scottish name, but Braemar is very firmly set in Cork’s southside.

Close to the SuperValu on the Skehard Road and St Michael’s Credit Union, this home is set in a quiet and mature close off the main suburban Mahon route, at 61, Clover Hill Estate. That makes it very handy for the massive employment node at Mahon Point and Douglas areas and it’s a very accessible location for all points east and west as it’s near the tunnel and South Ring.
