Century-old cottage that’s fit for modern living hides spacious interior

GLANDORE is a 1900’s cottage that’s been given the Noughties treatment and now spans an area over 1,700 square feet, even though it doesn’t look it.

Located in Ballyclough, Co Limerick, it’s just four miles from town in quite a desirable area, according to Gillian Dunne of Sherry FitzGerald.

She is changed with selling this attractive, cottage residence and is inviting offers in the region of €297,000.

On a three-quarter acre site, the grounds include gnarled old apple trees, mature shrubs and a lawn to the rear with a large, parking area to the front.

Because the house has grown over time there’s no standard layout here. In fact, it’s very unpredictability is its appeal.

The main living area has been located to the first floor and comes with lashings of natural light and great views.

On the ground floor is the original living room with a brick open fireplace and a door leading to the garden. The kitchen connects to the living room and comes with a huge range of country pine units with Belfast sink. One ensuite bedroom and a second, double bedroom with bathroom are located on the ground floor. There’s just one other bedroom on the upper level along with the living room.

Glandore has the local national school on its doorstep, al well as other amenities and is a short commute to the city.

Oil heating is installed and the house has oak PVC windows as well as a full length atrium over the main entrance hallway.
