Trading up: Douglas, Cork €420,000

Buncrana at 3 Browningstown Park in Douglas is more than an attractive mature three-bed semi — it’s an attractive mature semi in a very sought after residential area with a long south-facing garden.

“The location is superb — it’s within walking distance of primary and secondary schools and is within easy reach of Douglas Village,” says auctioneer Florence Gabriel, who is guiding it at €420,000.

Built in the 1950s, it’s a 1,142 sq ft owner occupied property which has been well looked after and has a sunroom extension on the kitchen at the back.
