Rochestown, Cork €205,000

Although it’s only 750 sq ft, No 97, Rowan Hill is a comfy pad, and easy to buy and to keep for a single person or a couple. 

The two-bed home, up in Cork’s Mount Oval Village, in Rochestown, is priced at €205,000 by agent, Niamh Moloney, of Sherry FitzGerald, who had open viewings at this spotless home during the week.

The bathroom is upstairs, accessed off the landing and via one of the two bedrooms, and there’s a guest loo below. The kitchen’s to the front, and the living room, behind, is 15’ by 11’, with glazed door to an enclosed, low-maintenance back garden and patio.

VERDICT: Handy home in well-serviced, large development with mix of house types.
