In prized Cork suburb on large site with potential

IT’S rare to find a site as large as that at number two, Bishopscourt Avenue. This detached corner house has a large back garden, but it also includes a sweep of extra ground on its right-hand side, maybe enough to build another house.

If not, the extra garden would allow imaginative uses for a new owner. The plot lies on the property’s south-western side and could allow a sunroom extension, or, with a high boundary, a private patio and entertaining spot.

The house is a bit dated, but, in terms of size, is a fine family home. Built by renowned firm, Denis J McCarthy, Bishopscourt climbs a hill towards Spriod Naomh College and has CUH grounds at its rear.
