Enjoy the country life on edge of city

A GOOD size site, over 1,900 sq ft of space, and almost a country setting by the edge of Cork city are attributes of Glenloc.

Set just beyond Dunnes Stores in Bishopstown, off the start of the Bandon Road at Ardarostig, this four-bed bungalow is now swiftly repriced at €475000 by agent Johnny O’Flynn of Sherry FitzGerald.

It was quietly put up for sale in the weeks running up to Christmas, and viewings have been doing well, but as they move into second calls and viewings, the price is adjusted back from €520,000.

The cul de sac setting is home to a small number of detached houses, and Glenloc’s sloping site is about two-thirds of an acre, with the house towards the back of its plot.

The house itself, opened up off its kitchen into a sunroom, also has a main large living room with double aspect, four bedrooms plus an optional fifth bedroom/granny flat and bathroom off to the very back, with external access only, so may be best suited as home office if a family’s children are on the younger side.

According to Mr O’Flynn, this is a home to suit a growing family, within a walk of Bishopstown and near all local amenities. It is just a few hundred yards from the Bandon Road roundabout.
