Home for a million wakes up market

DEEP in sleepy August the news of a million pound sale last week shook up auctioneering circles in Cork.

While the agent responsible for selling Millboro on Cork’s Orchard Road was tightlipped on the matter, it looks like Malcolm Tyrrell, of Cohalan Downing has pulled off the sale of the summer.

The property is close to UCC and the Bons Secour Hospital, which makes it highly likely the purchaser is a professional attached to one instituion or the other.
