Merge country life with a city job in a spacious home

SPANKING new and just 15 minutes from the village of Glanmire, outside Cork city, this detached one-off offers roomy accommodation for buyers who want to merge the country life with city jobs, and for whom commuting is not an issue.

The property at Rathaneague, Bartlemy, is up for grabs through estate agent Conor Lynch of Property Partners, Dick Barry and Son, Glanmire.

Mr Lynch says an offer of €415,000 has already been placed on the property, which has a guide price of €450,000. This bidding level compares favourably with house prices in the city so moving 20 minutes from the Lee Tunnel makes good financial sense - and the house is in the countryside.

The house comes fully landscaped, with both rear and front garden, and is finished inside to a high standard.

Accommodation includes four bedrooms, two reception rooms, a large kitchen/diner (that comes without a kitchen) a utility, WC, main bathroom and an en suite master bedroom.

There’s a stream which runs along the bottom of the picturesque 1.8-acre site and the driveway is finished in tar and gravel.
