Idyllic country cottage in reach of urban centres

BOUNDED by the Careysville estate on one side and Glandalane House on the other, Mill House at Clondulane, Fermoy, is a secluded, single-storey bungalow with buckets of charm.

It's two miles from Fermoy town and is set back from the Ballyduff road at the end of a long driveway.

Woodland forms the boundary on one side and the house has mature lawns and gardens of half an acre.

Priced at €380,000 through John Twomey of Property Partners Dick Barry and Son, the house offers an alternative for buyers in the north Cork area.

This is the ideal country cottage and doesn't need any work, according to John Twomey, who says it's ideal for a family or couple.

Windows are the original sashes and there's a wooden conservatory addition to the southern side of the house. The house comes with a fitted kitchen/diner of 21ft by 10ft, a living room of 26ft by 12ft and three bedrooms with a separate bathroom and toilet.

A lofted garage and shed are built in the garden and the house has a totally private, cul-de-sac location in the Blackwater valley. The river is just 100 yards away and the new bypass will shorten the commute to Cork city.
