Affordable homes with stunning coastal views don’t come on the market very often but this one in Cobh, Co Cork, has all the makings of being a remarkable place to live for anyone willing to put the time and effort into an upgrade project.
9 Lake Road is a 3 bed end of terrace house overlooking the harbour in Cobh. While a fixer-upper, the property has much going for it given its superb location.
