MATTHEW Hill has to be one of the more convenient locations on the south-western side of Cork city.
It has fast access to the South Ring, is close to Wilton and also near Cork Airport, especially on the back roads.
And it’s where this detached bungalow, Lisalan, is located.
On the market with Paul Young of Christy Ryan and Associates at €365,000, it’s spick and span and includes a fully walled, useful quarter acre site with garage/ workshop.
The interior is well laid out with an eat-in kitchen lined with built-ins and a utility room; a dining room; a living room with alcoves and a sitting room.
The bedrooms include a master suite, and three double rooms, all with fitted robes and they share a main bathroom.
Gardens are well laid out and the house is fully alarmed.
A great house for trading-up, with access to all routes via the ring road, where work on a flyover will ease motorists’ frustrations in a year or more.

ONE of Ireland’s most attractive locations, says estate agent Ray O’Neill, of this spot called Vale Cove — and it would be hard to argue.
This is a fairly modest bungalow, on a fairly exceptional site of four and a half acres, hence the €695,000 asking price via Sherry FitzGerald O’Neill.
Location is halfway between Ballylickey and Glengarriff (two miles away) in west Cork, pure Gulf Stream territory, with clear lagoon-like seas lapping rocky shorelines with semi-tropical planting. Garnish Island is nearby, if further planting inspiration is needed by new owners, with hosts of rhododendron to admire already.
The house is single-storey, with two of its three bedrooms en suite, and the main reception room is 23’ by 15’. There’s a kitchen with dining space, and if new occupants want more living space, the attached 450 sq ft garage-workshop might hold options. Or, subject to planning, going up into the roof would open up even better views.
The site is gorgeous, with rocky finger protrusions into the bay and shingle beach adding to the mix.

THE chance to build a substantial new family home, to a high standard, has cropped up at The Courtyard, Belmont House in Cork’s Rochestown.
Full planning permission exists for a full, two-storey house of traditional design, with bay windows on three of its four elevations, and to a design by Coveney Associates architects.
Selling agent for the half acre, with fantastic wooded surrounds , is Matt Fallon who guides the site at €300,000: it comes back for sale after wayleave issues have been sorted out, and it forms part of the grounds of Belmont House (also for sale with Mr Fallon).
Location is up at Monfieldstown, Belmont, near Garryduff and Mount Oval’s facilities, and allows for a one-off on a mature site, says Mr Fallon.
The house design is for a 4,000 sq ft detached house with four first floor en suite bedrooms plus study, with three large ground floor reception rooms, plus study and kitchen, as well as utility.
Sites as good as this don’t come along too often.

A FULL-time home for the last 12 years, the west Waterford bungalow St Declan’s, at Newline in Ardmore, is perfectly pitched for views: the vista includes Ardmore Bay, Ballyquin, up to three counties on a clear day, and the Comeragh and Knockmealdown mountains.
And, the 1,200sq ft home (with full planning in place for a dormer conversion) is looking pretty good too, with three bedrooms, one en suite, and an annex used as a studio, but capable of easily being turned into a one-bed guest apartment.
Selling agent Brian Gleeson seeks offers around €295,000 for the property on a two-thirds of an acre landscaped site.
It’s comfortable, with character, there are sea views appropriately from a bay window seat, and the garden gets great sun, Mr Gleeson adds,
St Declan’s gets the best of Ardmore’s scenery.

THERE a big deal on offer at this Curraheen, Tralee property — 22 acres of good land come with the house, built off the Tralee-Dingle road by the start of the Dingle peninsula.
The largely completed dormer home has almost 2,600 sq ft of space, and is on offer with Mannix Property Services.
The land right now is used as an ‘out farm,’ and so has no farm buildings, but would be ideal for a family that wants land to graze horses, or to fatten cattle.
It has views over the fields to Tralee Bay to Fenit, and has easy access to schools.
The simply detailed dormer house has some stone features on the front facade, and has three of its potential five bedrooms upstairs, with an en suite bathroom at each level.
The west-facing house has been done to what’s called a builder’s finish, with second fix carpentry done.
VERDICT: A decent-sized and well-built house on enough land to suit the wishes of aspiring small farmers and families who want to keep animals.
