Bishopstown 3-bed? How about €5m

RESIDENTS of a wealthy Cork suburb pleaded with city officials last night to save a cherished green space that has been put up for sale.

What’s being described as “probably the smallest house in Bishopstown with the biggest garden” was put up for sale by tender over the weekend.

However, the “garden” of number 1, Park Gate Villas on the Bishopstown Road, has been effectively used as a public park for almost four decades by the people of Bishopscourt. They have also paid for its maintenance.
