Within a pretty short commute by car to Cork city, a buyer will get over 1,500sq ft of modern four-bed, detached house, on a corner site, for €265,000 or so, via estate agents Jeremy Murphy & Associates.

He say the vendors are house-proud, and No 1 is extremely well-kept and decorated.

It has linked front living rom and rear dining rom with garden access, family room, kitchen/breakfast room, utility plus guest WC all at ground level, and overhead one of the four beds is en suite.

No 1 has gardens front and back, off street parking and the rear garden has a corner, raised decked section to catch the rays.

VERDICT: Lots of good space for the cash.
