One of Ireland’s smallest properties hits the market – and the inside might surprise you

This tiny home in Co Cork has gone up for sale – and the inside might leave prospective buyers surprised.

Measuring at 37 square metres, 24 Vicar Street in Cork City is likely one of Ireland’s smallest properties to hit the market. Certainly, it’s one of Cork’s smallest in recent years.

With one bed and one bathroom, this terraced house is located on one of Cork city’s most historic streets within walking distance of its city centre.

Originally constructed in the 1900s, this residence has undergone a comprehensive transformation into a truly modern property and is now listed for sale by private treaty with a guide price of €170,000 via Auctioneera Estate Agency.

Internally, the space features an open-plan design with a mezzanine (the sleeping area measures 144 x 200cm), ideal for a double bed, and it is enhanced by a skylight above that bathes the area in natural light.

The flooring throughout showcases a herringbone wood effect, while the fully integrated kitchen is furnished with modern appliances and is complemented by a double sink.

The bathroom boasts a three-piece rain shower suite, fully tiled, and benefits from a window that facilitates both natural light and ventilation.

A custom-made patio glass door not only welcomes natural light but also grants access to a private backyard.

The property enjoys the added advantage of being within walking distance of an array of amenities, encompassing shops, restaurants (for example, the award-winning Nano Nagle Centre & Cafe), and has convenient access to public transport links. The centre of Cork city (St. Patrick’s Street) is within 14 minutes’ walk of the house.

Fiona Waldron, Senior Property Negotiator at Auctioneera.ie said that she expects the house to be in high demand as praised the home’s current owners for the work they have done on the property.

“Number 24 is a unique find from the moment you step inside the door; with 37 square metres of area, the house efficiently uses up every bit of floor space to make a really cosy environment,” she said.

“I love the quirky elements such as the vertical-split doors into the bathroom and the consistency of the herringbone wood-effect tile throughout the entirety of the property, which really gives it a seamless look.

“We expect that the price and location of the property will be a big draw for buyers as turnkey properties like these are always popular.

The full property listing can be seen on the Auctioneera website and if there are any offers, they will be updated in real-time.
