Bungalow on city’s edge

A FULLY updated bungalow, on a third of an acre site just west of Cork city, is up for sale with a €340,000 price guide.

It is between the Bishopscourt Dunnes Stores centre and the Viaduct, where the city’s spread was halted by tight zoning and where planning permissions are scarce as hen’s teeth.

A couple of decades old, this bungalow is by the start of Maher’s Lane, a narrow road linking the main Bandon road to Spur Hill, and along this stretch are a handful of million euro homes on sites of several acres. The walls have been recently insulated into the cavity, the attic is insulated, and the updating includes PVC double glazing and oil central heating.
