Trading up: Commons Road, Cork €260,000

Sq m: 140 (1,500 sq ft)

Just six years old, this family home at 101A Commons Road is a cut above the rest — it’s even on an elevated site, with great views over the road to the Blackpool Shopping Centre and retail park complex, as well as to the striking seven-storey Heron Gate apartment complex.

No 101A is new to market with agents Property Partners Matt Fallon, who guide it at €260,000 and say it is a high-quality build with solar panels, zoned heating, and a good B2 BER energy rating.
