Bungalow in a comfortable habitat is almost too hot to handle

THERE’S something hot about Braemore and its gardens.

The 1930s bungalow is on Cork’s Hartlands Avenue, between the Lough and UCC — and it has one of the biggest and best sites as it was built as a family home by the man who developed most of the houses on this row.

On part of the original site of a market garden and newly up for sale, Braemore is a fine, comfortable home which has retained most of its original features — among the best of these is the large suburban 0.2-acre site which is a testament to several caring and thoughtful owners who have planted it well and profusely, yet have not overly domesticated it.
