Home and site come with plenty of options

SOME houses and sites are to die for, other houses have sites they just might be demolished for.

For all its abundant old-world, scuffed charms, Overton on the main Douglas Road in Cork city might just fall into the latter category especially in the wrong hands.

Dating to the early 1900s, it is a detached home on a beguiling private, mature site (overgrown just a tad) of up to two-thirds of an acre, and has the hallmarks of a solid build which changed little over the many intervening decades.
