Acre of mature gardens are a bonus with this property

FOR those looking for a rural retreat with gardens to tend, this house near Kilworth in north Cork might be worth looking over.

A spick and span bungalow, it comes with lots of space and an acre of mature gardens.

Also, at the asking price of €308,000 it’s good value for almost 2,000 sq ft of space.

Located close to the village of Kilworth, shops and a national school are within walking distance and other amenities are available down the road in Fermoy. Cork is a 45 minute drive.

The site is elevated and offers great views of the Araglin river, a tributary of the Blackwater and ideal for the odd bit of fishing.

Really, this is a gardener’s house, but all the hard planting work has been done, so new owners should only have to maintain the beds and borders.

Inside, the house is just as good, according to selling agents Sherry FitzGerald O’Driscoll, and has a room for every purpose.

Entrance is via a huge sunroom and the lounge is no small room either: it comes with three windows and has an office at one end, with phone and internet lines.

The kitchen/dining room has one of the large bay windows overlooking the garden and comes with a separate kitchenette and a utility room.

Four bedrooms, of which one is ensuite are off the main hallway and the sale Heating is by oil.
