Trading up: Rochestown, Cork €395,000

Sq m: 148 (1,600 sq ft)

There are five 1980s-built detached houses gathered in a cul de sac by Belgard Downs, off Cork’s Rochestown Road, and they only rarely come up for resale.

Now one, called Provence, is under offer around its €395,000 AMV quoted by Michael O’Donovan of Savills, who says it’s proving to be an attractive trading-up option for families in the Douglas and Rochestown catchments.
