Trading up: Togher, Cork €315,000

This three-bed bungalow by Cork’s Lough and a SuperValu takes up just one-twentieth of its site — so, there must be scope to do more with it?

Called Ennerdale, this is an 850sq ft older-style bungalow, toward the front of its site of over one third of an acre.

In fact, the site runs to 16,000 sq ft, mostly in lawn to the back, and on a cursory glance it seems like a near neighbour has already taken the chance to build a second dwelling to the back of another, similar home.
