Starter home: Togher, Cork €199,000

No 116 in Togher, Cork city’s Greenwood Estate needs work, admits its selling agent Anthony O’Regan of Keane Mahony Smith - but the price of €199,000 reflects that, especially given the fact that it’s only one of very few detached homes in this accessible southside location by the south ring road network.

Overlooking a large green, it’s structurally sound, yet needs an amount of upgrades. After that, a new occupant “will end up with a comfortable home that is within easy reach of schools, shops, churches etc, on a bus route to the city centre,” says Mr O’Regan.

VERDICT: Great scope...
