Mull it over: country life, on a bus route

IT’S a cottage on half an acre – a generous site by today’s standards – and while it’s in the country and has lovely views, Mull’s Cottage is on a bus route.

This Curraheen, Co Cork two-bed is on the rim of the city and minutes from the south ring road, yet it has all the attributes people seek with this kind of buy. The land is good, level and there’s enough room for a polytunnel, a couple of veg beds, or pony.

The cottage could be demolished in favour of a larger home, or it could be extended, subject to planning permission.

Priced at €260,000 through Property Partners O’Mahony Walsh, Mull’s Cottage has been well-maintained over the years and is in very good condition.

It comes with a living room, galley kitchen, main bathroom and two bedrooms. New windows are fitted and the house has oil heating, with an outside shed and WC.
