Bungalow packs a lot of space under its roof
And, it's not difficult to deduce that he's a schoolteacher.
The Latin phrase is fairly accurate - although neat and compact at first glance, this house packs quite a lot of space under its roof.
Set off the Station road at Blarney, Co Cork, this dormer bungalow sits at the end of a private driveway and is surrounded by gnarled, old apple trees and mature shrubs.
South-facing, and doubly-insulated, this is a warm and welcoming home and its on the market with Finbarr Roche of Property Choice for offers of €350,000.
Constructed in the last four years, it's an ideal trading-up opportunity for anyone in the Blarney/Tower or other western areas, says Mr Roche.
'The Beeches', is also less than a 10 minute commute to the city, via the Blackpool bypass.
On a third of an acre site, the house has an open plan kitchen/dining room with windows on two sides and rolling country views.
The main living room is the front of the house and three of the five bedrooms are on the ground floor. The master bedroom here is ensuite.
On the upper landing is a large, open-plan space that's currently used as a home-office and at either side are two bedrooms. Also included is a shower room and walk-in airing cupboard.
Most of the bedrooms come with built-in wardrobes and the main bathroom has a separate shower cubicle.
The Beeches is finished to a high standard, with light oak kitchen units and separate utility and to the rear is a generous patio area - double doors from the dining room lead directly to the garden and would be an ideal spot for a conservatory, says Finbarr Roche.
Just a walk from Blarney village, the house combines privacy with convenience.
