Frankfield, Cork, €340,000

Not only is the four-bed detached family home at 77 East Avenue in Parkgate, tastily painted up and decorated, but is also has an attic conversion up top, complete with several south-facing Veluxes to the rear. 

That uppermost room is in addition to the mid-1900s-built property’s c 1,400 sq ft of living accommodation, says its selling agent Jeremy Murphy.

He guides the well-kept family home at 340,000, and says Parkgate is one of Frankfield’s more popular estates and No 77 in East Avenue is well in towards the back...so close, in fact to the O’Flynn Construction development’s back boundary, that the the fire-ravaged Vernon Mount House is only stone’s throw over the hill to the north.
