Starter home: 2 Cahergal Lawn €190,000

Sq m 109 (1,171ft)

HIGH above the city, but with fast access to the centre, this Cahergal, Cork home is a sound semi built at a time when room and site sizes were generous.

One of a small number of houses in a quiet enclave off the Ballyhooly Road and within a minute’s walk of Dillon’s Cross, this house is an ideal family home but it is dated and will need a bit of a makeover.
