Plenty of scope for major transformation at Rossnalee, Convent Lane

What you see isn’t what may be put up instead on this precious plot of ground come the end of this year, or sometime in 2017.

This three-bedroomed bungalow called Rossnalee, on Convent Lane just off Cork’s Model Farm Road, has full planning permission granted for demolition and replacement with something three times as high, and three times as tall.

Right now, the mid-1900s brick-built bungalow on a 0.11 acre site has 1,100 sq ft as it stands and is in good overall condition, but in the usual run of things, you wouldn’t be paying €400,000 too often for a modest sized three-bed bungalow.
