Trading up: Ballyvolane, Cork €295,000

Sq m: 222 (2,400 sq ft)

There’s extra space top and bottom at the large family home 1a Barnavara Close — it’s got both an attic conversion and a basement.

Built on a cut-away corner site in Cork’s Ballyvolane, it’s a very much a one-off within the development, says agent Garry O’Donnell of ERA Downey McCarthy; he reckons that there’s 2,400 sq ft in which includes about 400 sq ft at basement level.
