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.
