Rural life within a ten-minute drive of the city

This bungalow in Ballyvorisheen, to the north of Cork city, has four bedrooms.

IT is rural, but close to the city - this Ballyvorisheen four-bed bungalow may be a quick seller thanks to its location a mile from Carrig na bhFear, which itself is a few miles north of Cork city.

Selling agent Sinead Twohig of Remax guides it at €340,000. It is on a third of an acre site and has an adjoining garage.

Accommodation takes in 23’ by 12’ lounge with wood and cast iron fireplace, dining rom with stone fireplace, kitchen with oak units and colourful tiled splashback, main bathroom and four bedrooms.

The brick-finished exterior has PVC double glazing, heating is by oil, and overall condition is very good. Likely buyers include families trading up, and those seeking country quiet, within a ten minute drive of the city via Blackpool, says Ms Twohig.
