VIDEO: House of the Week: 3 Douglas Hall Mews, Cork, €295,000

There’s practically a new home feel to the interior of 3 Douglas Hall Mews, despite the fact it’s coming up on 30 years of age: it’s because its owners did it all up from top to toe, when they moved in just five years ago.

Before that, this mid-terraced house had been used as a rental, and it sold off-market through family hands to the young couple who now - with two children in their care, plus dog and two outdoor cats who sit on the sills with a sense of entitlement - are set to trade up.

As it comes now to the open market for the first time in 17 years, it’s in immaculate and updated order inside, and is priced at €295,000 by auctioneer Jeremy Murphy, who expects interest not only from first time buyers, but also from traders down who want a walk-in condition purchase.
