For €195,000 there’s a carpeted living room, a tiled kitchen diner with cream units and granite worktops, a tiled conservatory, small utility room and a guest WC.

Upstairs there’s a bathroom and two bedrooms, with one en suite. Suzanne Tyrell of Cohalan Downing says it would suit a young couple or a buyer trading down.
