Dormer has beautiful setting

THIS house has to have one of the nicest settings in the Blarney area, and it should only get better.

On the route of an amenity walk to Waterloo, Putland Lodge is a stone-fronted dormer that sits on a site bounded by the River Martin. Woodland forms a backdrop at the rear and the new walk is just in front of its walls.

A quiet area, it’s still close to the village and the North Link road, giving a fast commute to the city.

Re-launched on the market this week, it’s on offer at €477,000 through Robert Harkin of Countrywide Homes.

Distinctive-looking on the outside, it’s even better inside, he says, and comes with three double bedrooms and an open plan living space.

The galleried lounge and dining room have cathedral ceilings of 35’ high with a mezzanine overhead which acts as a study. Windows are long and high allowing plenty of light and the finish is top quality.

The kitchen has hand-built units in pine, including a dresser, and a navy Stanley stove is a focal point of the room. Double doors lead onto a riverside deck and patio area. There are also lovely gardens and lawns.
