Trading up: Well Road, Cork €430,000

It’s a bit dated inside (not too many homes are being decorated these days with beautyboard) but even that’s to the advantage of any new occupants of Oaklands, aka 21 Douglas Hall Lawn.

It means when they do the necessary upgrades and refinishing, it will look just the way they’ll want it – and, on just about every other front, this is a real box-ticker.

Physically, it’s not a bad house at all, a four-bed on a large corner site - the largest in the estate, probably - with 1,435 sq ft inside, with its two ground level reception rooms across the front already connected. But, it’s where that site is that will be the deal maker.
