Spacious dormer is simply a one-off in a good location

THERE’S space here, but not that you’d know it — this dormer bungalow packs in 2,900 sq ft on its half acre site outside Ballincollig at Inniscarra, Co Cork.

Part of a cluster of one-off houses between Cloghroe and Inniscarra, this five-bed property is at Carrignaveen, Cannon’s Cross.

It’s well presented with some lovely planting but, more importantly, it faces south at the back with a large, level patio and a slightly raised garden beyond.

It’s the kind of house that’s perfect for a growing family.

The house is immaculate, and a move-in job: plus, there’s a room for every need.

The ground floor has a fine, rectangular main reception room, another across the hall (now housing a snooker table), a family room behind and then, the games room/ music room beyond along with a dedicated, comprehensively-fitted home office.

The kitchen is going to be a big draw, because it’s sleek, new and not stinted on in terms of fittings — yards of granite cover all of the work surfaces (with a clever window treatment) and units are in shaker oak. And, it’s a grand, square size.

The utility is a smooth built-in space with everything hidden away behind doors, really organised, and it also has a guest bathroom, as does the recreation room.

Overhead, there are four decent double rooms with a main bathroom and en suite master and there are built-ins in each one, changing with the personality of the room.

Bright and warm, (it’s a C2 in BER terms), this house is perfect trading-up material and will particularly appeal to buyers looking for that accessible, country home.

Spacious, unpretentious, spotlessly clean and ready to go — what more could you want?
