Lots of extras with this family home

NOT averse to wide and wild open spaces? Like neighbours, but not too close? Then this five bedroom house on over an acre at Bealnamorrive, Coachford, might be just the job.

And, despite the unedifying townland name, (just the thing for Halloween), this house packs a lot of extras for the guide price of €500,000.

On the market with Robert O’Keeffe of Irish and European, this is an idiosyncratic property built to a high standard and using native timbers, stone and brick.

In the scenic Lee Valley area, the house is a little off the beaten track, but is just three miles on the Aghabullogue side of Coachford. This is a village with primary and secondary schools and it’s well within commuting distance of the city, especially with the Ballincollig bypass. Done to a tee, it’s an ideal house for a family trading up, according to Mr O’Keeffe.
