Trading up: Glanmire, Cork €250,000

Sq m: 108 (1,195 sq ft)

Corbally is a popular and nicely rural part of Glanmire, and an easy-enough commute back to Cork city, and it’s where Fiona Waldron of Jeremy Murphy Associates has a bungalow for sale on a quarter acre.

Called Kismet, after the Turkish word for fate, destiny or fortune, it is guided at a sub-fortune sum, at €250,000. That’s for a three-bed home in good nick, of nearly 1,200 sq ft and on well-kept gardens.

Likely to be a few decades old, it’s a well-kept home on a pleasant site along the Glanmire walking ring route, with rural views. It has three beds, two bathrooms, store, living room with stove, and a good-sized conservatory/dining room with garden access.

The house get lots of sun light and has walls and attic recently re-insulated.

VERDICT: Neat as a pin.
