€750,000 for a bungalow that has attitude and acres of potential

A NICE, big bungalow, this, but is it worth €750,000? Of course it is, when it has just under two acres of land adjoining Heron’s Wood in Carrigaline.

Not that there’s any planning permission involved, but the site is bound to have development potential, in the medium rather than long term.

And the Richard and Judy of Cork auctioneering are handling the sale - Alan Burke and Lucy Wolfe, the husband and wife team behind Lucy Wolfe and Co.

Zoning and development notwithstanding, this is a very good house, says Ms Wolfe, and comes to the market in excellent condition and with modern fittings.

Off the Fernhill Road and almost opposite the golf course, the house overlooks rolling pasture land, yet is just a few minutes from the Ringaskiddy roundabout and Carrigaline town.

Surrounded by mature trees, and all that land, the house at Kerrycurrihy, Carrigaine has four bedrooms, a sunroom, kitchen/dining room with solid elm units, a utility room and a large lounge.

The master bedroom is en-suite and has the first floor position, while the remaining three bedrooms are on the ground floor and share a main bathroom.

Then, there’s a detached garage with a floored attic area and a coal and tool shed.

The garden is the result of years of labour and has a lime kiln dating back to 1945, built by the parent of one of the vendors.

There’s also some fruit trees, an organic vegetable patch, roses, boxwood hedging and even a fruiting vine.

A covered deck with solid roof and cedar cladding is built off the lounge and there’s a wendy house and about an acre of lawn for children to play in.
