Trading up: Grange, Douglas, Cork, €289,000

The detached 1970s-built houses in Cork’s Grange Erin were built in a sort of snaking, twisting internal road layout, so there’s hardly a straight run of homes to be seen in this Grange, Douglas, development.

And, as a result, it’s hardly surprising that No 48 Grange Erin is on a corner site: it’s in good company, and as a result, the place is all corners.

A tall-looking, three-bed 1,450 sq ft detached with converted garage (now a TV/den room and utility up against the neighbours), it’s listed for sale as a winter offer with estate agent Jeremy Murphy at €289,000.
