Charming Monkstown cottage needs TLC

A tired but promising home comes with sweeping views, writes Tommy Barker

Parkgarriff Cottage in monkstown.

What’s the future now for Parkgarriff Cottage, a close neighbour to Monkstown Golf Club, as it comes to market on an elevated site, with views down over Cork harbour?

Set on a deep site roadside site of 0.57 of an acre, with possible site potential to the back, this is a relatively compact dormer-style cottage which originally was two adjoining very small Famine-era cottages; at one stage, one side even served time as a local shop.
