Trading up: Wilton Road, Cork €325,000

There’s a big sale coming up in Cork suburban Wilton — try €70m for size — as the shopping centre anchored by Tesco and Penneys gets offered as part of a Nama retail portfolio worth €115m in all.

But, for us lesser mortals and mortgagees, how about this other, more manageable buy? Set to be auctioned on September 29 by Shane Finn of DNG Creedon is Kenvilla, a six-bed home at the Dennehys Cross/Wilton Road junction.

Packing an impressive six bedrooms, but needing work, it skirts the grounds of the 1957-built Holy Ghost Church, right along its lengthy site.
