Cork/€400,000:A Cork home with views over the harbour and a prestigious address comes to the market with full planning permission for a four-bedroom architect-designed rebuild.

Crown Park Villa is being sold through Sherry FitzGerald with an asking price of €400,000. It is on Montenotte Road, up on the hills of Cork. But the four-bedroom house is tired and in need of much work.

The vendors are selling the house along with full plans and planning approval to turn it into a chic contemporary home, which would suit a style-conscious young couple.

The new home has been designed by Cork-based Kiosk Architects and the build has been valued between €325,000 and €375,000.

The new property, measuring 147sq m (1,582sq ft), will be laid out over two levels. The bedrooms are on the ground floor and will have access into the garden area.

The design envisages an open-plan living area incorporating a large lounge and kitchen/dining space with adjoining desk area on the top floor.

Permission has also been secured for new access to the house via the Montenotte Road through a two-car garage which will have a stairway leading up to the front of the property. Alternatively, pedestrian access is via the Middle Glanmire Road.
