Coole prospect with Lee views

THERE’S been a hot market response to the bungalow called Coole, a mid-1900s three-bed home on a delicious one-third of an acre site, above the Lee Road in Cork.

A mile or so beyond the city boundary, it is reached via a private entrance on the Lee Road, which runs from Wellington Bridge towards Inniscarra and the Angler’s Rest pub. It is a popular walking route, and the house is up over the road, which gives it a perch from which to catch the slow-flowing River Lee views.

Its owners/vendors have been here for almost 25 years, and have done consistent upgrades. “It is lovely inside, in good decorative condition and doesn’t need much work at all,” says estate agent Gail Kingston of DNG Harris auctioneers.
