Ideal for a riverside hobby farm

A BUNGALOW residence with sweeping views of the River Lee at Coachford, Co Cork, is on the market with auctioneer, Paudie O’Leary.

Surrounded by 11 acres, this would be the ideal hobby farm, he says, in an area where planning permission to build new homes is notoriously difficult.

While the property is about 20 years old, purchasers with a bit of clout might eye up the property for its site value only. Demolition of the existing dwelling would allow for permission for a substantially larger house although this would not be a common course of events in this A3 planning zone surrounding Greater Cork.
