THERE’S a chance to grow-your-own-home in Bandon where planning consent is already in place to demolish part of this Mount Angel home and modify and extend it.

Built in 1977, the bungalow’s kitchen was later extended, replacing a galley with an open-plan, split-level kitchen-cum-dining-room. It overlooks the back garden through a fully-glazed rear wall.

The permission to modify and extend this 114 sq ft home includes demolishing part of the existing house, including the double garage.

Selling agent Majella Galvin said new owners might add another bedroom (en suite?). And/or a home office or playroom.

Existing accommodation at Mount Angel includes two reception rooms, a kitchen/dining room, three bedrooms and a family bathroom.

A well-kept, well-presented property on Doherty Road, the bungalow is within walking distance of Bandon town and there’s an easy commute east to Cork city (c 35 mins by car) or west to the beaches of West Cork.

“It’s kind of like being in the country but also in town,” says Ms Galvin “making it a top choice for families and retirees alike, seeking a peaceful yet accessible lifestyle.” 

Gardens at Mount Angel are generous, especially to the front, where there’s plenty of lawn and a strong showing of trees and shrubs. Outback catches the sunlight throughout the day.

Ms Galvin says bungalows are in short supply close to Bandon town, particularly for those looking to downsize, so she’s expecting a nice bit of interest.

“This one comes with excellent potential to customise the property, whether by adding extra living space, upgrading features or creating a bespoke layout to suit modern needs,” Ms Galvin says. The energy efficiency rating, a lowly ‘G’, suggests some remedial insulation work may be on the cards.

VERDICT: Good opportunity to grow-you-own home.
