Starter home: Maryborough Woods, Cork €149,000

The chance to get in at ground level, literally, at the apartment blocks at Douglas’s Welwyn Road, up in Maryborough Woods, has come with the sale of No 8.

A ground floor, 750 sq ft two-bed apartment (with one en suite), it’s guided at €149,000 by Glenn O’Connor of DNG Creedon who notes it’s modern and well-kept, with a 19’ by 15’ living room with feature glass block wall screening off the kitchen area.

Pitched at first-time buyers, and investors, No 8 may also suit a trader down, and has one reserved parking space.
