This property in Monkstown, Cork has a bedroom the size of a city flat

The 5,000 sq ft ‘Buncoille’, in Monkstown, has a master bedroom the size of a city flat, says Tommy Barker.

NOT yet a decade old: it was built at the height of the Celtic Tiger, when the euros were burning bright.

In just about every way, this rangy, big and airy Monkstown home is a child of those times, and is now for sale — with all of its gadget and gizmos and space — for way under what it must have cost to build and finish. It’s a corporate-level house, no mistake.
