Bungalow comes packed with potential

A DETACHED bungalow Carriglee on Carr’s Hill outside Douglas in Cork is on a valuable one-third of an acre site, and with a guide price of €275,0000 could be bought as is, or invested in further to maximise site potential.

The price level is on a par with some apartment sales in the greater Douglas area, and the house itself is an older style bungalow, with small flat roof extension behind, and has two/three bedrooms, depending on usage.

Dermot Lynch of Irish and European Real Estate alliance is in charge of the sale, and says there’s a cross section of people lining up to view, including older couples, those keen to extend and those who might see a commercial/home office element to the property.

It has double access, both off the main Carr’s Hill road and via Maryborough Woods, the large and well-finished O’Brien and O’Flynn residential development which stretches back to Maryborough Hill.

Accommodation includes porch and hall, two reception rooms each with fireplaces and bay windows, small kitchen, three bedrooms and bathroom. Site value alone is likely to be in the region of €200,000 to €250,000, and Carriglee has oil-fired central heating.
