Plane to see this bungalow is value for money

PLANESPOTTERS take heed — this cottage in Cork’s Ballygarvan is just minutes from the “Taj Mahal” that is Cork airport.

And despite the loss of flights to two British destinations, (cheers, Ryanair), the hub for Cork city is as busy as ever.

On the right side for a night’s sleep, Myrtle Cottage on Myrtle Hill is a smashing, stand-alone bungalow on a one-third of an acre site and it’s new to the market at a guide price of €380,000 through Cohalan Downing and Associates.

And that’s good value when site levels in the area can make up to, and over, €300,000 an acre without planning permission.

Buying in here allows a purchaser to circumvent protracted planning problems, (it’s basically “locals only” anyway), and with a house thrown in to boot.

The property is less than 0.5km north of Ballygarvan and is a short commute to Cork, or Carrigaline.

With accommodation spread over two storeys, the house comes with a living room, kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom. The upper level has one bedroom and outside, there’s a large, detached garage and separate store house.

With obvious potential, this property is ideal for families looking for a perch on the edge of the city.

And plane-spotters, of course.
