House of the week: Maryborough, Cork €630,000

Sqm, 235 (2,525 sq ft)

FOLLOWING on from last month’s big Paddocks house offer in Cork’s greater Douglas suburbs comes a second, smaller and more affordable option — for those with deep enough pockets.

Newly listed with Malcolm Tyrrell, of Cohalan Downing, is no 9, The Paddocks, a four-bed with 2,500 sq ft of space over two levels, plus attic rooms with Veluxes. It comes to market just a month after the five-bed, 2,850 sq ft no 16 (also with good attic space) and on a very large site. No 16 had been priced at a cautious €695,000, with the neighbouring no 14 having sold in recent months for €680,000, all with Cohalan Downing. No 16 has exceeded €700,000 in offers.
