House a first since 1930s

THE first house to be built since the 1930s in Ashton Park, off the Blackrock Road in Cork city, will cost you €500,000 - but decide to buy now and you’ll get a chance to have an input into the finished product.

That’s according to Ann O’Mahony of Sherry FitzGerald, who is marketing a 2,000 sq ft four-bed dormer bungalow, to be built on a site of 0.13 of an acre behind an existing residence in Ashton Park.

Location is close to Ashton School, and while houses haven’t crowded in here to this select cul-de-sac, a few small apartment schemes have.
