Two-bed bungalow has amazing city views

“A BRISK walk from the city centre” is how Andrew Moore describes the setting of Inisbeag, a bit of a market rarity in Cork’s Bellevue Park.

Up even higher than St Luke’s Cross, Bellevue does exactly what it says in translations — it commands a vista of the city beneath.

Only, Inisbeag doesn’t command the views its bigger, older siblings has. It is a neat little two-bed bungalow of 960 sq ft, a low-set home that is easy to keep in an area of big Victorian and Edwardian terraces, semis and detached homes.

The comfortable home with its own private south-facing garden is priced at €450,000, and will appeal to those who love this settled area, but who don’t want, or can’t afford, the big period homes which it is noted for. It will attract traders-down, too.

On the left hand side entering Bellevue, it was built in 1991, and will suit a single buyer, a couple, and those at either end of the age scale, everyone but families with lots of kids in fact.

On a one-eighth acre site, it packs in a porch, hall, kitchen with oak units and patio garden access, sitting room, and two bedrooms plus bathroom, as well as having a garage alongside.

Heating of this easy-keep package is via gas.
