Starter homes: Dillons Cross, Cork €100,000

Size: 83 sq m (900 sq ft)

An honest house — that’s No 22 Stream Hill, an early 1900s house in a super-handy setting off Cork city’s Gardiner’s Hill and Dillons Cross.

It’s new to market this month with new estate agency Behan Irwin Gosling, where auctioneer Mark Gosling puts a €100,000 price guide on the three-bed in good order, but with loads of extra scope too for a new generation of occupants.
