Trading up: Ballintemple, Cork €215,000

High stone walls line Churchyard Lane in Cork’s Ballintemple, but the duplex apartments at Templehill House manage to overlook them in any case. 

This modern, niche development of just eight homes is a few hundred metres uphill of Ballintemple in Cork’s suburbs, above the back-in-business Venue bar, near Cork Con rugby grounds, and between two GAA grounds, albeit closer to Páirc Uí Rinn than to Páirc Uí Chaoimh.

Here, tucked away inside Temple Lawn, is this three-bed duplex, No 8 Templehill House, in good, clean order, and guided at €215,000 by its selling agent, Fiona Waldron of Jeremy Murphy & Associates.
