SET up towards the front of the Curragh Woods development in Cork’s Frankfield is No 70, a smart-order three-bed, semi-d with long, south-easterly facing back garden.

The detached family home at 14 Dunvale Grove has been topped and tailed with add-ons: it has a sun room extension to the back, as a sort of tail, while up top it has a tremendous long attic conversion — over 20’ in fact, with proper stair access, and has sloping ceilings, spot lights, lots of sockets and an internet connection, smoke alarm, and a partial glass-block wall section, to allow light penetrate down to the second stairwell.
