Starter Home: Donnybrook, Cork €150,000

This four-bed semi d at 18 Hollygarth, Donnybrook in Douglas is a renovation project, no doubt.

Guiding at €150,000 it’s a 1980s built 1,500 sq ft house which requires a comprehensive overhaul.

Selling agents ERA Downey McCarthy say it needs new heating flooring windows, bathroom, kitchen, etc.

Accommodation includes a sitting room, a living room, a dining room, a guest WC and a kitchen diner at ground level.

Upstairs there’s a bathroom and four bedrooms including one en suite.

Out back there’s a west-facing garden which needs to be reclaimed.

VERDICT: Potential, but agent Michael Downey recommends bringing a builder to the open viewings.
