Starter home: Deerpark, Cork City €225,000

Sq m 109 (1,175 sq ft)

THE owners of Bramley, a three-bed terraced home in Cork’s super-convenient Deerpark, have been here for years and did some work or improvement almost every year, according to its selling agent.

Auctioneer Jeremy Murphy prices Bramley, aka 175 Deerpark off Friars Rd, at €225,000, and says it’s a real credit to its occupants, who he adds made a great job of a very well-finished attic extension. It doesn’t qualify for description of a fourth bedroom but is a multi-use space, with lots of power points, phone and TV points, Velux windows, and black-out blinds, as well as access to good attic storage. There are smoke alarms on each level, and a burglar alarm.
