Extended options

YOU get two for the price of one in this property offer — four years ago, a one-bed home was grafted on to the end of a 1980s three-bed bungalow, done for extended family use.

And, now, holding potential for some similar mix of uses for families, friends or others buying in tandem is Briar Hill, on a cracking good 0.6 acre site overlooking Raffeen Creek by Cork harbour’s Monkstown.

The setting is scenic, having managed to overcome or assimilate the bulk of the Pfizer plant across the waters at Raffeen Creek, a noted wildfowl reserve and occasionally graced by dinghies racing out of Monkstown past the new marina facility.
