Trading up: Maryborough Hill, Douglas, €350,000

A great double site is a bonus with this adaptable bungalow home, with its double-digit address, in Cork’s outer suburban Maryborough Hill, above Douglas.

Now a couple of decades old, No 24-25 Maryborough Court is a well-kept home, ideal for a range of buyers: its double site is its best asset for many, who’ll relish the sheer amount of outdoor space, its brick paved patios and its sun traps, and its existing landscaping and planting, with lots of fragrant roses.

The gardens, sloped up to banks of shrubs and mature boundaries at the back, include a glasshouse and a timber shed.
