Rural retreat designed for convenience

BUILT 30 years ago to an architect’s design, the bungalow property, Pheasant Wood near Midleton in East Cork, has many strings to its bow.

Set near Water Rock, on the edge of the town with views over the golf course, the 1972-built home is on four-and-a-half acres of grounds which include an old stone gate lodge at its entrance. It has a pleasant old world looking detached garage with brick walls, plus two loose boxes for horses or ponies.

It has just the right amount of space for a family looking for a home with space for children and horses, within a few minutes of Midleton and an easy commute to Cork city as well and the tunnel/ring road network.
