Lavished with care and attention

BIG, bold and on the market, this one-off house at 21 Upper Glenrichmond, Glanmire, carries a price tag of €595,000 with Micheal O’Donovan of Sherry FitzGerald, Cork.

Lots of care and attention has been lavished on this property, he says, and the landscaping alone is worth thousands of euro.

And the house is not in bad shape either, with lots of style, lots of space and great privacy, adds the agent.

Number 21 is not overlooked at the back and, because it’s set into a hill, the gardens are terraced, with large beds created with old railway sleepers steps lined in the same material. The house has 2,229 square feet of space which is divided up into well proportioned living and sleeping areas.

The ground floor rooms are all accessed off a generous and impressive hallway, with the family and dining rooms to the left, the kitchen straight ahead and the lounge to the front. A utility and guest loo are tucked around the stairwell.

Overhead are five generous bedrooms, two of which are en suite, and a main bathroom.

Heating is by gas and this house also has the bonus of underfloor heating on the ground floor.

The Glenrichmond scheme is a gated community and No 21 is at the top of the development.
