Westwood wows, without wabbit

THE sale sign hadn’t even gone up, and already estate agent Dan Howard had a nibble. Only problem was, it wasn’t from a bidder or a buyer — but from a bunny.

Setting out the selling details and strategy with the owners of the four-bed semi at 46 Westwood, Carrigaline, the Cork auctioneer felt immediate activity afoot: the owners’s family pet, a large white rabbit, had started feasting on his not-so square feet.

So, credentials established, this is a family home going up for sale, minus the family pet. Even the back garden adds to the picture, complete with slide, trampoline, play house, basketball hoop — and hutch.
