Bungalow in development hotspot gets better with age

IT IS one of those homes that gets better with age: 15 Apsely Court is a c 20 year old bungalow in one of the very first O’Flynn Construction schemes, built in Killumney, Co Cork.

Back then, Killumney was pure village in feel; now it is a bit of a hot development spot thanks to the reliefs brought by the Ballincollig bypass, which puts it within a few minutes’ reach of the western suburbs and Ballincollig itself.

No 15 is a 1,800 sq ft family home, in the same family’s ownership from day one, but it has been regularly invested in and upgraded by its occupants, says estate agent Malcolm Tyrrell of Cohalan Downing Associates.
