Trading up: Curraheen Road, Cork €250,000

Sq m: 115(1,240 Sq ft)

It’s a landmark on the Curraheen Road, a decent old house, called surprisingly, Olde House, and it sits on a large site, facing the road.

It’s a bit of a sleeping beauty on a green corner where Curraheen Road meets Rossa Avenue and it has the benefit of more ground than it owns — there’s a public open space to the rear.
