Half acre gives room for expansion

BIG enough for many at 1,800 sq ft, the house Dimora nevertheless has room and scope for expansion, and most early viewers are looking to go larger with this woodland retreat.

So says estate agent Kieran McNamee as he kicks off the sale of this large-ish, architect designed home on a half acre site, but set in a 70 acre belt of mature woodland, a rarity of a site now widely appreciated in a south Cork setting.

Location of this trading-up, detached home is on site no 3 in Brookwood, off the main Carrigaline/Crosshaven road, a drive from Cork city (nine or ten miles) and a few minutes from the marinas and the sea at Crosshaven.
