Douglas, Co Cork – €205,000

This property in Cork was built to a high specification only seven years ago and is located in its own quiet cul-de-sac. It is unusual for an apartment in this price range in that it has its own separate kitchen and living area.

The property’s description says that it would be suitable for a “downsizer who wants convenient hassle-free living”. The property’s kitchen features integrated units and both of its bathrooms come fully tiled.
