Extension plans awaiting new owners

A RECENT full grant of planning permission for extension and modification opens the door to make a whole new home of the curiously titled house Donya Sabuk, on Cork city’s Model Farm Road.

However, buyers don’t necessarily have to follow the architect’s plans for the full upgrade - the fact planning has been granted for a significant level of improvements means more modest changes should be easy enough to get approved as well, says Barry Nagle of Global Properties.

He seeks €495,000 for the detached house Donya Sabuk (an African word, it means buffalo herd) on a one-third of an acre site, with about 1,800 sq ft of space. It is currently under offer at about 420,000.
