Mayo: Ballina
At first glance St Jude’s on Abbey Street, Ballina, is a standard-looking three-bedroom semidetached home. It was built in the 1930s and extends to 122sq m (1,313sq ft). Its garden should garner attention. It appears to extend to about 20m but through an arched blue door lies about another 80m of space waiting to be tamed. The D2 Ber-rated property is adjoined by a supermarket.
