Lots of interest in terrace house

Victoria Avenue, Cork Cost: €275,000

Done up by an architect-owner, now living in Dublin, the terraced home Lyndhurst is meeting with swift viewing approval: after just a week or two on the market, it’s already under offer.

Apart from location, within a walk of Cork city centre, the fact it’s an all done-up seems to be the key. Estate agent Fiona Waldron of Jeremy Murphy Associates guides the four-bed at €275,000 and it stood at €260k in offers in recent days; of the four swift bidders, three are first time buyers.
