Starter home: Bandon, West Cork €205,000

There’s an impressive B1 level BER with the new-build home 2 The Green, right by a green on Chapel Street in the West Cork town of Bandon.

The three-bed semi has solar panels, a wood-burning stove, three beds with one en suite and is painted, with kitchen fitted, all ready to floor and then walk into, says Don Brennan of Sherry FitzGerald Brennan Busteed.

No 2 has also been listed with Bowe Property, and the price guide is €205,000.

VERDICT: So central a setting
