Starter home: Carrigaline, Cork €165,000

Sq m 100 (1,070 sq ft)

CK in the building heyday, Castlelands raised the bar a bit for many of Co Cork’s longer-established home builders, giving a higher spec than the market had been used to — or at least was being offered.

Case in point is the The Willows, in Castleheights, Carrigaline, South Cork, where No 26 is for sale and has already gone over its €165,000 asking price.
