Space for a minor hurling team

CLOYNE is perhaps most famous as the home place of Christy Ring, the Cork hurler turned legend.

Kilboy House is a multi-gabled dormer bungalow that comes with space enough for a whole minor team of hurlers.

A seven-bedroomed house, it’s priced at €450,000 through John Hornibrook of Sherry FitzGerald O’Donovan of Midleton.

Taking the size of this house, and its 1.25-acre site into account, it just goes to show that the further from Cork city a purchaser is prepared to go, the better the value.

Here, everything has been done, including the gardens which come with raised beds, pergolas and archways as well as a sweeping tarmac driveway that’s easy to maintain.

Rooms are a good size and include a light oak kitchen, a sitting room of 18’5’x16’9’, and a lounge of 15’7’x 15’5’, but the best room of all has to be the extravagant sunroom of 21’3’’ x 15’4’.

Just one of the bedrooms is ensuite, but there are two full bathrooms included in the room count and one of the bedrooms could serve as a reception room, depending on a purchaser’s requirements.

So, take a puc fada and cast an eye around Kilboy House.

Sherry FitzGerald O’Donovan are the people to talk to.
