Fountainstown home worth a look-sea

IT’S a short enough run down hill to the sea from this big, stone-faced modern home called Sunfield House.

Out in south Cork beyond Carrigaline, it’s a mile from Fountainstown beach, and handily on bus route to boot.

It was built back in the year 2000, to a large template; and, for those who really want a bit of space to spread around at, there’s an option to buy up to five more acres plus this site, advises agent Ernest Forde of Hodnett Forde, based further afield in Clonakilty.

Mr Forde quotes an AMV of €535,000 for the five-bed home with about 2,600 sq ft plus a detached garage, and although built and finished to a high standard with good joinery, it all now needs a bit of TLC to get back to the crisp condition it deserves to be in. Sunfield House was architect-designed day-one, and is on a west facing site on a hill, out of sight but within ear-shot of the sea.

Carrigaline and Crosshaven are a five minute to 10-minute drive away.

Internally, it has two reception rooms, kitchen/diner, and five bedrooms, with two en suites.

VERDICT: Open to offers, and worth a look.
