Desirable home may be knocked

A FIFTH of an acre site is not to be sniffed at — least of all when it’s in the heart of Bishopstown.

Joint agents Jarlath Boyd of Savills HOK and Brian Olden of Cohalan Downing are selling a detached property, Wilton Cottage, at Merlyn Lawn at the moment at an asking price of €660,000.

Despite its detached status and good quality of presentation, this 1,600 square foot bungalow could be bulldozed in favour of a much larger property.
