Trading up: Beaumont, Cork, €330,000

It’s big enough, it’s detached, the house’s location within Beaumont is good - and the €330,000 guide price isn’t going to dampen enthusiasm either on 50 Ashleigh Gardens.

Listed with agent Michael O’Donovan of Savills is this three/four bed home, with floor area boosted to over 1,300 sq ft thanks to a side extension which contains a study, or optional bedroom number four.

It dates back most likely to the 1960s, and is near a pedestrian access point to a public park and national schools at Beaumont quarry, plus it is near GAA, soccer and rugby pitches for families with kids into sport and training.
