Trading up: Beumont, Cork City €325,000

Sq m: 97 (1,050 sq ft)

When the spread of semi-detached houses was being laid out in Cork’s suburban Beaumont, there was agenerous hand with gardens — and No 62 Beaumont Drive is a good example of this munificence.

The three-bed home, in a good but relatively original state, weighs in at just about 1,050 sq ft, but its back garden is 150’ long — good for soccer, tennis or a more genteel game of croquet, perhaps?
