Spacious country house

BACK on the market at a reduced price, Massabielle at Vicarstown, Blarney, is the kind of country house that will attract trader-uppers looking for a country pad with plenty of space and with local amenities nearby.

Sites are hitting the €200,000 plus mark in the area at the moment, which means this four to five bedroomed detached makes sense at the asking price of €550,000.

On an acre site, which has a vast expanse of terrace and a stream boundary, this property is in superb condition, says selling agent Jeremy Murphy of Downey McCarthy Murphy.
