Property rises from ashes

Location: Cork City, €139,000

JUST as good as a new house — and in the city centre, near Cork’s rail station — that’s the old terraced home 153 Lower Glanmire Road, arisen from the ashes of fire damage, with cool back yard.

The fortunes of this terraced home within a short, level walk of the city centre, took a turn for the worst a year or so ago when a fire started in an upstairs bedroom of this c. century old property.
