Looking for a home with real character?

Unless you’re willing to roll up your sleeves for a big renovation project, it can be tricky to find affordable Cork city properties with personality.

Up in Farranferris, this little gem ticks both boxes, especially if you’re on the hunt for a starter home or trading down.

With two bedrooms and plenty of attractive features, The Lodge on Lover’s Walk is for sale at €225,000.

The former gate lodge for St Finbarr’s Seminary was built in 1885 with a single-story extension added in 2000. Its red and yellow brick chimney stacks and terracotta chimneypots give it a whimsical vibe on the exterior, while the interior is fresh, simple, and stylish.

“The ground floor accommodation includes a bright sitting room with double doors opening out to the garden.” says the estate agent, Áine McLoughlin of AML Property Services.

“The kitchen/dining room has lots of natural light with windows on both sides of the room and ample storage space. The bathroom is fully tiled and has an electric shower.”

Upstairs, two double bedrooms await, with the main bedroom offering views of the Cathedral looking south towards the city.

A side gate provides convenient access to a wonderful walled garden, and parking is available directly outside the front door.

|There is a paved area, perfect for entertaining with a designated section for a vegetable patch and lawned area, ideal for gardening enthusiasts.” added McLoughlin.
