A colour-coordinated bungalow

TASTEFUL beiges, creams and taupes never got a decorative look in at number 26, Foxwood Drive — this is a bungalow with a bit of rebel attitude... albeit skin deep.

There’s full-on, navy paint used on the hall’s walls, it crops up again on the kitchen ceiling, and once more on the chimney breast, in that pretty, damn fine extension and main living space. But a once-over with a few cans of paint and the place will have a different hue entirely. Or it might down to the ground as is.

This mid-1990s, three-bed home is in the low-density Foxwood scheme of similar (and several much larger) bungalows in Garryduff, in Cork’s Rochestown.
