Trading up: Bishopstown, Cork €325,000

The general market wisdom is that if a bungalow comes up for sale in any of Cork’s older, settled suburbs like Bishopstown, it would simply fly out the door. 

Such properties appeal to all ages, from first time buyers, to traders down, and there’s a complete dearth of them. In fact, all agents report strong demand for Bishopstown at present.

Now, there must be well over 100 bungalows of various shapes and sizes in Uam Var and its variations, along and off the Curraheen Road in Bishopstown - but only a handful come up in any couple of years for purchase.
