Conservatory good addition

WHEN these large, detached houses near Blarney, in Co Cork, were completed, all of the units were sold off the plans, so there was no need for marketing.

Right now, Countrywide Homes are selling one of only three of the five-bedroomed houses in the Willison Meadows estate and interest is picking up fast, says selling agent, Humphrey Hogan.

Just on the market number 2, Willison Meadows has a guide price of €450,000 and comes in excellent condition, the agent says. Timber-framed and very bright inside, the house is ready to move into and comes with a conservatory to the rear, in the same green colour scheme as the windows. Rooms are large and interconnect, with a living room, dining room, conservatory and attractive, hand-painted kitchen.

The fifth bedroom is used as a study and there are four bedrooms on the first floor, all with fitted units and master ensuite. The ground floor also has a utility and guest bathroom. Gardens are easy to keep with plenty of parking to the front and a large patio area off the conservatory at the back. Midway between Tower and Blarney, the house is very convenient and is a 10 minute commute to Cork city.
