Garden bliss bonus with Passage bungalow

THE gardens will sell Wilton Heights, in Upper Ardmore in Cork’s Passage West, but the house is no slouch either.

Set above the Cork harbour town, now expanding with large and up-market developments pending and an ambitious waterfront scheme in the offing, this bungalow on a third of an acre of mature gardens hits the market as Passage’s fortunes are changing, but before prices rise fully to Rochestown levels.

The 1,370 sq ft four bedroomed bungalow was built in the early 1980s, and is on the market with Cearbhall Behan of Frank V Murphy auctioneers, jointly with Daniel Lehane in Dunmanway: they seek €495,000 for the perfect trader-up for those with gardening ambitions.
