Emphasis on site at Boreenmanna cottage

THE first thing a buyer might do with The Cottage, on Cork’s Boreenmanna Road, is to change the name — and then knock the cottage itself.

Having outlived it usefulness, and mostly likely its name unless kept on with a hint of irony, The Cottage is essentially a site sale: the sale brochure doesn’t even bother describing the space or the rooms in what’s on offer here.

Instead, there’s a site map, showing a deep site of about a quarter of an acre.
