Starter home: Upper Strand, Youghal €120,000

With a guide of €120,000 this semi-detached Victorian property at Sunnyside Villas in Youghal would do very nicely as a starter or for holidays.

Con Keogh auctioneers say the 1850s house with beautifully proportionded rooms, has been almost untouched since the 1960s. It has double glazing but needs modernisation. A great project perhaps?

Verdict: Its Victorian seaside charm just needs a polish.
