Starter home: Ballincollig, Cork €170,000

The address is Newgrange, but the only thing subterranean about No 14 is its basement level car-park.

This top floor, duplex two-bedroomed apartment comes now only with underground parking, but also has a south-facing roof-top terrace, and shares another terrace with a neighbouring unit.

Estate agent Mark Gosling of Behan Irwin Gosling guides No 14 Newgrange, at An Caislean south of Ballincollig’s main street at €170,000, with a minute’s drive of the ring road.
