Terrific views from bungalow

THERE’S a touch of up, up and away at Colowen, Ballinvroskig - the house up by Cork airport has elevated views that go on, and on, an on.

“You can see the Old Head of Kinsale to the west; well, at least you can see the lighthouse beacon at night,” says the owner who built this large bungalow 27 years ago and is only now able to part with it.

Colowen is on half an acre, with an annexe to the back as well as a detached garage/games room and large 1,600 steel shed which gives commercial/storage possibilities for any new owner.

The four-bed, extended bungalow itself has 2,500 sq ft of living space, and there are four bedrooms with one en suite, while it, the main bathroom and a further bathroom are also newly re-fitted and brought up to date with a modern flourish.

Other rooms include a dining room, family room, living room, kitchen with porcelain tiled floor and granite worktops, utility and guest cloak room.

The extension to the back, ideal for an independent teenager or older relative, has a bathroom with Jacuzzi and wheelchair accessible shower, studio room and mezzanine, kitchen area and patio/garden access.

Selling agent is Jean Shanahan of DNG Harris, who guides it at €735,000.
