House by the bay, with possibility of second build

THERE’S possible scope for a second dwelling at the old-style semi-detached No 1 Atlantic Villas, near Fennell’s Bay, just beyond the mouth of Cork harbour.

Near Myrtlevile and Ballinluska, this property mix (built post 1922 under the Irish Soldiers and Sailors Land Trust Act, which provided over 4,000 homes for ex-servicemen) is on half an acre and also has the most basic of bungalows, clad in corrugated steel on a portion. This may help get a second, replacement detached dwelling on a part of the site, say Kevin O’Sullivan Estates in Cork city.

They have just picked up the sale of No 1, cutting from a 2007 price of €475,000 to €330,000.
