Trading up: Ovens, Cork €465,000

Selling this Knockburden, Ovens home will be no burden at all for its estate agent Norma Healy of Sherry FitzGerald: “if I had a dozen of them, they’d all sell, there’s huge demand for houses like this around Ovens - and no supply,” she notes.
Less than 10 years old, this 2,500 sq ft four-bed home has a good quality interior and spec, and is on an acre, with a detached garage.
