Trading up: Montenotte, Cork €350,000

There’s kerb appeal to the front of this 1920s Montenotte semi-detached home up at 27 St Joseph’s Drive - and, if you were to pass by the back garden, it’s even more appealing.

Looking good for a 90-year-old suburban home, the three-bed is in very good order, inside and out, with lots of retained original features such as the hall’s floor tiles, stripped stair newel posts, fireplaces, and picture rails.

It has already been extended at ground floor level to the back, has an attached garage, and the attic is converted and easily accessed, says selling agent Michael O’Donovan of Savills, who guides at €350,000.
