House of the week: Douglas, Cork €695,000

Size: Sq m 265 (2,850 sq ft)

A BIG house, on a big site with access to a big green area, and hopes too of a big market response come with the package at 16, The Paddocks.

The detached five-bed home on a site that’s a surprising one-third of an acre in this Douglas village setting also has a big, and high-ceilinged attic space, ideal as a play area or private den. It adds about 250 sq ft to the already decent 2,850 sq ft on offer.
