Ideal architect-designed bungalow in city suburb

NICE bungalow - shame it’s an endangered species. Wilton Park Lodge has a luxurious, one third of an acre site off the main Wilton Road, in Cork city, and its sale will definitely draw in the developers.

Bishopstown is circumscribed by the Green belt: it has no ‘living space’ and can’t march into Waterfall or Curraheen, or even the Bandon road: things are tight in the western suburbs.

So, this architect-designed bungalow may be annexed by developers and a small infill scheme built in its stead: which also explains the price tag of around €750,000 through Malcolm Tyrrell of Cohalan Downing and Associates.
