Top address ripe with possibilities

ANNMOUNT is one of the “best addresses” in Glounthaune, a short haul east of Cork city and the Jack Lynch tunnel, home to elevated homes with harbour views.

Newly up for sale here is The Copse, on a wooded hillside and on private grounds.

A detached bungalow, which has been extended in the past, is on a site that justifies further spending.

That’s on top of the €750,000 asking price via Jarlath Boyd of Savills Hamilton Osborne King, for a 1970s style bungalow with four bedrooms, or three bedrooms plus granny flat option.

Mr Boyd pushes its further scope: “potential is the quality that best describes this substantial detached property,” he says of the low-lying home which could be made really sizeable if planning could be obtained for a first floor extension.

Like its neighbours, some of who have invested in home extensions and improvements, The Copse is on a generous site with quick access to the Dublin, Cork and Waterford roads.

It currently has porch, hall, 18’ by 14’ family room with slow-slung stone fireplace. There are double doors to a kitchen behind with built-ins, there’s one bedroom to the front with an en suite (this has granny flat options) and there are three other bedrooms to the rear of the property plus utility and sheltered side yard.
