Unusual property in pleasant village

RELENTLESS rain notwithstanding, it’s still worth a drive through the sodden countryside to view this rather unusual property at Cloghduv, Co Cork.

A straight run out from Ballincollig, on the N22, or if you prefer the tourist route (and pulling-in for the occasional lorry), the Killumney road will also give a feel for the mid-Cork countryside.

A pleasant village, with a church, shop and pub, Cloghduv is set to grow as part of development policy by Cork County Council.

So, ignoring OECD reports and the prevailing south-westerlies, what does a €775,000 property in the sticks have to offer?

Architectural design with the most unusual elevation, tons of space and getting in early are some of the pitches provided by Pacelli Nolan of SWS Property Service, who’s offering this property at shell stage to prospective purchasers.

It has an upside down, open-plan layout, and anybody buying this type of house will have firm ideas on the final look.

The fundamentals, however, are already in place, heating is top class, joinery is all solid beech, roof lights have remote controlled openings and all windows run floor to ceiling.

There is the opportunity to go very ‘Grand Designs’ here. The house has four bedrooms, three bathrooms, three receptions and two ancillary rooms: it also comes with a huge, three-car garage.
