Frankfield bungalow is a five-bedroom option

MERLIN is one L of a house. The L-shaped bungalow fits in about 1,700 sq ft of space thanks to extensions which now have given it scope for up to five bedrooms — one a vaulted ceiling space, with garden and balcony access as a bonus.

The vendors have been in this home in Frankfield in Douglas, Cork, for more than 20 years, but are selling up, asking the same agent they bought from decades ago to perform the same selling task.

Dennis Guerin of Frank V Murphy & Co seeks offers around €495,000 for the extended bungalow with an east-west aspect, attached garage, and mature gardens a short spin from Cork city centre and Douglas’s shops.
