Bishopstown, Cork €320,000

The back garden faces south, the kitchen has been re-done, central heating’s in place and windows are double glazed – so, doing further work on 24 Westgate shouldn’t break the bank. This mid-1900s three-bed semi-d, in Cork’s Bishopstown, is close to many key western suburban services and is guided at €320,000 by estate agent James G Coughlan as a clean buy for new owners, just needing decorative upgrades.
As it stands, it’s got an attached garage, and this can be converted, or replaced and re-built back up again over two levels for extra beds and baths. Many neighbours have done this, and others have gone up into attics: some have done both, and these are homes that grow with the flow, with gardens big enough to facilitate many extension options, notes agent Jim Coughlan.
