Trading Up: Bishopstown, Cork €245,000

The chance to get into the Bishopstown area of Cork city in a three-bed semi-d comes along at 5 Oakgrove, in a section of Uam Var, one of the later builds here and dating to the early 1980s.

Now coming up on 35 years of age, this two-story semi-d needs updating, but the price guide of €245,000 via agent iona Waldron of Jeremy Murphy Associates seems to reflect this.

It has just under 900 sq ft of living space, with three-beds and a utility off the hall, and it still gets quite a decent C2 BER, good for its age, but it’s likely its next owners will spend a bit on adding comforts, and updating the decor.
