Roads leads way to mechanic’s home business option

A €60 million road now runs out to this Knockanmore, Ovens, home - it is just a couple of hundred yards from the end of the Ballincollig bypass.

The new road has transformed life in the satellite town, and made life along this Cork-Kerry corridor a whole lot easier.

With the road leading to Knockanmore, what chances a mechanic will find a niche at this four/five-bed bungalow home, set up for such a business, as there’s a car inspection pit in the double garage?

Estate agent Lara McCarthy of Property Choice guides the house, with home-business potential, at €425,000-plus, and says it has more space than you’d expect from an outside glimpse: L-shaped to the rear, this 12-year-old property packs in about 2,200 sq ft of living space.

Site size is half an acre so there’s lots of growth potential. Rooms include an L-shaped hall, sitting room, kitchen/dining, family room, utility, guest WC, main bathroom, and four bedrooms one en suite. Heating is by oil, and there’s wood-effect PVC double glazing.
