Starter home: Glasheen, Cork City €175,000

Just refurbished from top to bottom is 1 Upper Glasheen Road, a two-bed house with an appeal to first time buyers, and owner/occupiers with a handy location.

Previously on the market as a total do-er up next to a tiny cottage, this is the first to be redone, raised from a G to a D1 BER with a wood-burning stove, plus smart loo, kitchen, etc.

Agent Paul O’Driscoll of Thos J O’Driscoll guides at €175,000, and its going well in offers, he says.

VERDICT: Work all done, and tastily so too.
