Trading Up: Sundays Well, Cork; €125,000

The asking price has attracted all the attention, and the strong viewing figures of more than 30 in the first week but, be warned, No 146 Sunday’s Well Avenue is not for the faint of heart, or those with thin wallets.

Guided at €125,000 via Michael O’Donovan of Savills, this sum probably represents less than half of what it may cost in total to do this wonderful period city home up to an age-appropriate status and quality.

It’s 180 years of age, and while it has been occupied until very recently, it’s pretty much a total do-er upper, with many original features in evidence to set the right conservation tone.
