Corryfield: rare sale of ‘one-off’

PUNCHING above its weight is Corryfield, a Glounthane, Co Cork bungalow with a €775,000 asking price.

The house measures 1,850 sq ft, but has scope for a 550 sq ft extension at attic level. It is on the market with Kevin O’Connell, of Dan O’Connell & Co auctioneers, Glanmire, who says there is a shortage of good ‘trading-up’ family homes in this hillside hinterland (though an upmarket 100-home scheme, with some houses in the €1m price bracket, is likely to be launched by another selling firm in Glounthane, in early autumn).

There is always demand for one-offs: Corryfield is architect-designed, crisply presented and well-maintained on a site of half an acre.
