At €45k, this pair of red brick buildings could make a cute boutique café

By Yay Cork October 30, 2025October 29, 2025

It’s a popular spot during the summer.

And if you’ve ever dreamed of opening a shop or café to serve the crowds of locals and tourists who gather at Bell’s Field to enjoy the sunshine and the stunning Northside views, this might be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.

Two 20 sq m (215 sq ft) red brick storage buildings overlooking the famous field are for sale for €45,000.

Numbers 4 and 5 Old Youghal Road, Cork City, will be sold together as one lot. They need some work to turn them into something usable, obviously, but their location, architectural charm and historic character gives them plenty of appeal.

“Currently used for storage, these two-storey buildings offer endless potential for transformation, whether as a boutique café, small commercial unit, or other innovative use (subject to planning permission).” says Karl O’Reilly of Savills, who is handling the sale.

“Their setting overlooking Bell’s Field ensures excellent visibility and footfall, making them an attractive option for those seeking a distinctive and character-filled space in Cork’s vibrant city centre.

“This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a property rich in charm, character, and potential, in one of Cork’s most sought-after urban locations.”
