Trading Up: Old Blackrock Road, Cork €250,000

Size: 78 sq m (840 sq ft)

Although not very large at just under 850 sq ft, No 1 Rockboro Terrace will prove a strong seller — due to location.

An older era end terrace home, it’s set on Cork’s Old Blackrock Road beyond the South Infirmary hospital complex, opposite the former Rochelle school, now residentially developed by O’Callaghan Properties. It has a big back garden beyond a patio, so it’s more than capable of taking a decent extension, with space left over.
