Trading up: Lehenaghmore, Cork, €370,000

It’s all twinkling lights in full nighttime view from Cork’s Mont Royal — and that’s not just due to Christmas lighting extravaganzas.

Set up by Farmers Cross, Lehenaghmore, and thus between Cork City and the airport, Mont Royal’s elevated setting on Airport Hill gives a regal, wide sweep of views of Cork.

A three-bedroomed bungalow on a site on 0.2 of an acre, Mont Royal is now for sale with estate agent Timothy Sullivan, who guides at €370,000. He stresses that this is a deceptive property, far bigger than it looks from fleeting, drive-by glances from the road.
