Trading up: Frankfield, Cork, €400,000

East meet west in the suburban Frankfield, Douglas scheme Parkgate – the sizeable 1990s development by O’Flynn Construction is divided up into East and West Avenues.

Now, one of the rarer offers, a detached four-bed at 5 West Avenue is new to market with Trish Stokes of Lisney, who guides the 1,850 sq ft house at an even €400,000 and who can expect healthy trading-up inquiries.

It’s currently pretty bland inside and is being shown unfurnished, but the space is good, with three reception rooms (two plus a den) as well as a kitchen/diner with slight extension, mostly glazed but with a solid roof, plus utility, coat store and a guest WC.
