Starter home: Riverstown, Co Cork €247,000

Four-bed semis are, for the most part, out of the price range of first-time buyers in the Cork City area — but 14 Orchard Manor at Riverstown in Glanmire could prove affordable.

Size: 109 sq m (1,180sq ft) 

Bathrooms: 3 

Bedrooms: 4 

BER: Pending

Guiding at €247,000, it’s in a mature cul de sac within walking distance of Riverstown village and is said to be in excellent condition.

VERDICT: Selling agents Cohalan Downing say a four- bed semi with this asking price is sure to attract attention
