Trading up: Coachford, Cork €260,000

THE directions out to this home for sale at Clonmoyle West advise viewers to go out past the scenic-set Griffin’s Garden Centre in Cork’s Dripsey — but, from the gardens here at this hose, it appears the vendors rarely passed a garden centre, without a purchase or at least a landscaping idea.

Set on 1.5 acres, this is a bungalow with lots of space — over 2,000 sq ft — and large rooms, but only three bedrooms in the current layout. It has even made smart use of the lower eaves space on the 26’ long landing, now home to display and book shelves, a feature and a storage idea in one.
