The latest price reduction on this Innishannon bungalow should put it back on the radar of house hunters looking for space, lots of bedrooms and gardens in a country setting, all within an easy commute of Cork city. 

Going against the flow of bank-branch closures, the former West Cork branch of Permanent TSB, in Bandon, is for sale or to let, only because the bank has relocated to a larger premises.

Potential is what is being offered at this roadside Brinny property, stretching out along the back road from Innishannon to Bandon, 20 minutes west of Cork city.

The Kinsale market is flying along, but there’s a shortage of family homes — and that’s where this Eldon Heights home comes to the fore. 

ALONG and bustling history comes with Riverbank House and Quay, a River Bandon-set home that gives its owners the chance to sail the seven seas — if they start off leaving on a high tide.

THE former Bandon, Cork Road HQ of Fleming Construction — in receivership and with group debts of €1bn — is for sale.

Kilmaloda House near Timoleague, Co Cork, was built as the country seat of the Beamish family.

INNISHANNON, CORK €279,950

MOVE straight in? Extend? Knock? Don’t be hasty.

A home with myriad glorious views, this Kinsale home is crying out for some love, writes Tommy Barker

CARRIGALINE, Co CORK €295,000

THERE’S a lot to this house at Moskeagh, Bandon, Co Cork, apart from what the agents describe as the very realistic asking price.

PROPERTY bargain hunters could find themselves kings of their own castle by Christmas where €120,000 has been slashed from the asking price of 3 Castle Cottage, a refurbished property from the Bandon Estate in Co Cork.

THE Olympics might be wrapping up this weekend, but it isn’t too late to get wrapped up or wreathed in laurels, if you house-hunt just up-river of Bandon town in west Cork.

LAUREL WALK is the D4 of Bandon — or its Sunday’s Well, if a local comparison is more appropriate.

THE village with one of the most distinctive statues in Cork county, the grotto of the Blessed Virgin, Ballinadee, also has a handy location between Bandon and Kinsale.

IT’S very rare to get a large parcel of land in Co Cork at this time, but a 143-acre holding at Belrose, Enniskeane, had just come up for sale.

A NEW listing with David Busteed of Sherry FitzGerald Brennan Busteed, is no 8 Castlewoods, a smart, four-bed on the outskirts of Bandon town.

THESE Cannon’s Wood houses made a bold statement when they went up in Bandon over three years ago.

TAKE your pick. Two houses on two sites of one acre each just off the main Cork/Macroom road offer an almost identical choice to trader-uppers.

A RARE opportunity, the brochure says, and indeed, it’s probably not far wrong when you have a site of just a shave under an acre with full planning permission for a 2,500 sq ft dwelling in the salubrious, Moneygourney/Maryborough Hill area.

LOOK, and learn. You can sense an architect’s hand at work in 3, Main Street, in Innishannon village. In fact, the only surprise is the fact this house was made over as far back as the early 1990s.
