Cute country commute at Cloghroe

Tommy Barker says as city prices soar, theres’ value left in easily commutable rural locations.

THE city housing market has taken off at a pace in Cork, especially in the suburbs, and those in search of a decent-sized family home, at a comfortably affordable price, are now casting their nets to rural buys for sheer value for money.

And, that’s where this Bridgestown, Cloghroe bungalow will score: it offers 1,600 sq ft of space, with more to hand in the attic, and the existing rooms have a pleasing decor, sort of French styled, subtly feminine, book-ended by a sun-room, all on tended tiered gardens.
