Okay, so it needs some work.

But with the average Cork City rent increasing once again to €1,210, more people than ever are on the lookout for a reasonably priced doer-upper.

Now there’s a chance to buy in one of the oldest parts of Cork – provided you’re willing to sign up for a little DIY.

Sherry Fitzgerald is seeking a cash buyer for No. 10 Red Abbey Street, a four-bedroom, two-bathroom property requiring some renovation ‘and possible structural repairs’.

A three-minute stroll from Patrick Street, the property has a living room, kitchen and bathroom on the ground floor.

Upstairs you’ll find four bedrooms and a tiled shower room.

The sellers are asking €75,000, about half what similar properties in better condition are going for in the city at the moment.

If you can scrape together the cash, you could nab yourself a tidy home in the shadow of a 14th-century Augustinian abbey… and around the corner from some the city’s best pubs on Douglas Street.
