Starter home: Mallow, Co Cork €195,000
NO 10 Annabella Terrace in Mallow is a four bed semi-d with a great deal more character than its modern equivalent — and a much larger garden.
Located within a five-minute walk from the Main Street, it’s one of a pair of semi-detached houses built in the 1940s adjacent to a terrace of three storey properties.
Well kept but in need of updating and modernisation, it’s a spacious — almost 1,400 sq ft — house with an attached garage.
Seeking offers of €195,000, Michael O’Donovan of Sherry FitzGerald O’Donovan says that given its size, central location and its gardens, it has huge appeal as a family home.

“The residential location is popular and the house has a number of original features including the terrazzo flooring in the hallway as well as picture rails and some fireplaces.”
Inside the front bay window is a laminate-floored lounge with a fireplace and double doors leading to a rear dining room.
There’s also a kitchen with fitted units, a small study and a ground floor shower room.
On the upper floor there’s a bathroom and four bedrooms including one with an original fireplace and another with a bay window and mirrored sliderobes.
Fitted with electric storage heating and timber single glazed windows, the house has a G energy rating.
The garden at the front has been gravelled to provide space for parking while the garden at the rear is lawned and extra long with ample space for playing, gardening or building, should a new owner require more rooms.
It has character and space but needs upgrading to turn it into a very comfortable family home
